Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

These instructions will make a 6.5 inch bracelet. For a longer or shorter bracelet, choose your desired length of rolo chain. For related tips on how to utilize the third hand tool in the assembly of this design, please watch this video.
  1. Begin by preparing your chains as follows: Use flush cutters to cut apart ten links of star charm chain by clipping the jump rings attaching the charms. Set aside 20 silver star links. Repeat this process to set aside 20 gold circle links. Then cut 6 inches of rolo chain.
  2. If you are using a third hand tool, secure the end links of your rolo chain into the clips of the tool.
  3. To assemble the first half of your charm bracelet: Open a 6mm jump ring and slide on the hole of one yellow Austrian Crystal star. Also slide on the centermost link of your rolo chain. Close the jump ring.
  4. Open a 4mm jump ring and slide on two antiqued silver star links. Also slide on the link of rolo chain two links over from the yellow crystal star you attached in step one. Close the jump ring. Repeat this process to hang two gold circle links two links over from your dangling silver stars.
  5. Open another 4mm jump ring and slide on the loop of one blue Austrian Crystal channel charm. Also slide on the link of rolo chain two links over from your gold circle links. Close the jump ring.
  6. Repeat step 4 to attach two more of each of the silver stars and gold rings.
  7. Now repeat steps 3 through 6 to continue the pattern, this time adding a white Austrian Crystal star.
  8. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add one more yellow Austrian Crystal star and two of each of the silver stars and gold rings.
  9. To assemble the second half of your charm bracelet: Repeat steps 3 through 8, working in the reverse to attach charms to the other side of your bracelet.
  10. To attach your clasp: Open a jump ring and slide on one end link of one of your rolo chain. Also slide on the loop of your toggle clasp. Close the jump ring.
  11. Open another jump ring and slide on the other end link of your rolo chain. Also slide on the loop of your toggle bar. Close the jump ring. All Done!
