- To start, watch our video on how to embellish an expandable charm bangle bracelet.
- Using pliers, open the jump ring attached to the silver ribbon charm. Close the jump ring around one of the double-bars of one expandable bangle.
- String one Austrian crystal bicone on one head pin. Make a wrapped wire loop, but before wrapping the wire, attach the loop around the bar of the bangle next to the ribbon charm. Repeat this process, attaching another Austrian crystal bicone dangle on the other side of the ribbon charm.
- String another Austrian crystal bicone on another head pin, and attach it via a wrapped wire loop outside the double-bars, so it can slide freely on your bangle. Repeat this process, so you have two bicones dangling outside the double bars. Your first bangle is complete!
- Open the jump ring attached to the silver "hope" charm. Close the jump ring around one of the double-bars of the second expandable bangle.
- Repeat steps 3-4, attaching two Austrian crystal bicones on either side of the charm inside the double-bars, and two more outside the bars, sliding freely. Now your second bangle is complete.
- Open a 4mm jump ring. Slide it through the loop of the TierraCast round crystal charm, and close the jump ring.
- Open another 4mm jump ring. Slide it through the jump ring you just attached to the TierraCast charm, and then close it around one of the double-bars of the third charm bangle.
- Repeat steps 3-4, attaching two Austrian crystal bicones on either side of the charm inside the double-bars, and two more outside the bars, sliding freely.
- Your bangle set is now complete!
