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.

Before you begin, measure the part of your ankle that you would like your ankle bracelet to wrap around. Add just a bit of extra length for ease and find the closest length you can get on this chain between ball segments. Make sure that this length will be comfortable when you walk. The clasp will add about 3/8".
  1. Cut a length of silver plated flat link cable chain with ball links about 9" long, or the desired length, making sure to end on each side with the larger link just outside the ball segment in tact.
  2. Use a 6mm, 19 gauge silver plated jump ring to hang a 16mm Austrian crystal crystal starfish pendant in crystal luminous green from the end link on one end of the chain.
  3. Use a 3mm, 21 gauge silver plated jump ring to attach a silver plated sleek lobster clasp to the same link in the chain as the larger jump ring.
  4. The last link in the other side of the chain will be what you use with the lobster clasp to close the ankle bracelet.
