You will also need a thin scrap of wire to complete this project.
- Before you begin this project please watch our video: How to Make and Adjustable Slider Clasp Bracelet.
- From what you learned in the video, begin the first bracelet by cutting off 11 inches of the tiny rectangle chain. Thread a thin piece of wire through the last link in the chain, forming a needle. Thread the needle through the slider bead. Then loop back around and go thru the opposite direction to form a loop.
- Adjust the size to a comfortable length, trimming the chain if needed. Remove the wire needle.
- Using your flush cutters, cut off one jump ring of the charm chain to free two triangle dangles.
- Open one 4mm 22g jump ring and attach it to one end of the chain and one triangle dangle. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the other side of the chain. This completes the first bracelet.
- Next, cut off two lengths of rectangle chain, 4 inches each, and set aside.
- From your charm chain, cut another jump ring, freeing two more triangle dangles. You should have about 3 inches remaining of the charm chain. You can adjust this length if desired.
- Open one 4mm 22g jump ring and attach the end of the charm chain to one length of rectangle chain. Repeat on the other side to attach the other length of rectangle chain.
- Now making another wire needle, attach it to one end of the chain and thread it through the adjustable slider bead. Remove the needle.
- In the same manner, going through in the opposite direction thread the other end of the chain through the adjustable slider bead. Remove the needle.
- Open one 4mm 22g jump ring and attach it to one end of the chain and one triangle dangle. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the other side of the chain. This completes the second bracelet.
