Virtually, it is not always the fact. The handmade jewelry can be achieved through many channels. The best way is to make them by yourselves. You know what you need and you are what you wear! Why not holding out your hands to find some recycled items and create a unique piece for yourself or as a gift to your friend. Are you interested in it?
How to make handmade bracelets is a topic I want to talk about here. This time a project about it is shared with you.
Jewelry making supplies for this kind of handmade bracelet:
Copper wire, “S” shaped toggle, jump rings, Knitting needle, Round nose plier, Wire cutter
Cloth (kind of thick and soft cloth, you can get from used curtains, or table cloth)
How to make handmade bracelets Step 1: prepare the cloth strips.
Fetch a patch of cloth, cut it into several strips, I feel 4 or 6 is enough and with each one measured 2 centimeters wide. However your strips’ width and quantity both depend on the assumption of your handmade bracelets. At best before preparing, measure your wrist and decide the length of the bracelet. Then roll down the strips to make cloth balls and stick the ends firmly.
How to make handmade bracelets Step 2: prepare the wire balls
Pull out the copper wires form coil, cut them into pieces according to the quantity of the strips you previously did. And then use round nose plier to scroll the wires onto needle, wrapping them several times one by one. In this way, these wires will be formed into “balls of wire”.
How to make handmade bracelets Step 3: finish the handmade bracelet.
Use scissors or knife to make proper holes at both ends of cloth balls, and connect the cloth balls with wire balls in alternate order. And at last, assemble the “s” toggle.
If you don’t think this project is that simple, you can make some change to make it simpler. For example, cut a long strip, scrolling it as a tube, which just suit for your wrist; and add wire balls in equal distance to make the bracelet still have similar alternate effect. However this change will limit the jewelry making, because you are unable to use colorful assortment of cloth balls.
Right, your first piece of handmade jewelry is well done! The “how to make handmade bracelets” is not finished, more and more fans are sharing their hand making experience online.
