There are many variations of the woven chain bracelet. I had some left over chain and embroidery thread from previous projects, so I decided on a simple method to string two pieces of chain together. I used a hemming stitch to connect the chains, and added jump rings and a finding. I love the way it turned out! I plan to make more and maybe spray paint the chain in different colors!
You’ll need:
- Finding
- Gold Chain
- Jump Rings
- Embroidery thread
- Pliers
- Wire Cutter
1.
Using your wrist as a guide, measure and cut your chain to the length
you want it. Mine came out to about 6 1/2 inches. Cut a 36 inch piece of
embroidery thread and fold in half. Attach the thread to one end of one
gold chain and tie a double knot.
2.
Thread the embroidery through the first opening of the second chain.
Going underneath the first chain, thread the embroidery through the
first opening. (I ended up attaching a large needle to the end of the
thread to make the stitching easier.)
3.
Continue to “stitch” the chains together in the over-under pattern
until you reach the end of the two chains. Tie a knot on the end of the
chain. Cut off any extra thread.
4. Attach jump rings to each end of the bracelet. On one of the jump rings, add a finding.
And you’re done! More bracelets to add to your jewelry collection!
