Have you ever looked at one of your belongings and thought; Man, why do I even keep this? Well, I thought so about this hairclip. Then I thought; Hey, this is perfectly long enough for making a bracelet! What you'll need to make this charmed bracelet is a chain (does not necessarily come from a hairclip :) ), a kelp, (maybe) some jump rings, a charm (or whatever you'll like to put on it) and a lock of any kind (this time I simply used a safety pin). First of all, I removed those feathers and the bobby pin on top of the hairclip. I decided to keep, them, they might come in handy later :). Removing them also gave me five jump rings, so I didn't need any jump rings else than those i already had from the clip. |
I kept the jump ring form the feather in the middle, and I put on a charm. I closed the jump ring, and put on one jump ring in one end of the chain. Then I took a small safety pin (the bracelet was just a little too short, but the safety pin made it perfectly long enough for me) and put on a jump ring at the round end of it. Then I closed the jump ring around the other end of the chain. That's all! |
In the left bracelet at the top picture, I've used two different chains. Those were leftovers form earlier projects :)
