Retired - World Traveler Charm Bracelet

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.

1. Start by cutting your chain.
2. Open a 5mm jump ring and link it to the end links of your chain (there are two together for this style of chain) as well as the loop on one half of your clasp. Close the jump ring. Now do the same thing with a second jump ring so that you have two jump rings connecting this end of chain to the clasp.
3. Repeat the previous step on the other side of your bracelet.
4. Take a ball head pin and place one 11/0 seed bead and one 8/0 seed bead onto it. Create a wrapped wire loop after the last bead and trim any excess wire. Repeat this process 4 more times so you have a total of 5 dangles.
5. You are going to be attaching all your charms to the bracelet with jump rings. If the loop on the charm is forward facing, then you will simply use one 5mm jump ring to attach it to the chain. If it is sideways facing, then you will use a 4mm jump ring to attach the charm to the 5mm jump ring (so that it will sit properly when worn) and then attach that 5mm jump ring to the chain. For all the TierraCast charms, I added a little beaded dangle from the previous step to each of the 5mm jump rings.
6. Please look at the photo of this project for the spacing and placement of the charms. A charm was attached every 3-4 links along the chain and alternated between TierraCast charms and Zola Elements charms and always on the same side of the chain. You can have fun placing charms wherever you want along the bracelet.
