I have been coveting hand chain bracelets for a while now, more so since they emerged as trendy over the last year. However, I have found most of them to be quite expensive or just not to my liking. The solution? DIY of course!
Michaels has long been one of my favorite places. I could probably spend a lot more time AND money there if I didn’t have any self control. Alas, since my goal was to make hand chain bracelets I promised myself I would only buy a few things:
- chain (gold and silver)
- jump rings and clasps
- charms
Using these materials, some charms I bought in Brazil, some creativity (inspired by the intrawebs of course), and jewelry pliers and wire cutters, I added two hand chain bracelets to my [expansive] jewelry collection. Each took about 3-4 hours, but ended up costing about $10 in materials each so a total bargain… and I wear them often!
What’s your latest jewelry DIY?
Desde hace mas o menos un año he querido este estilo de anillo-pulsera, pero no había encontrado ninguna que me guste o por un buen precio. Mi solución fue fácil- hacermelas yo mismo!
Fui a Michaels y compre:
- Cadenas doradas y plateadas
- Argollas y broches para cerrar
- Dijes
Usando estos materiales, unos dijes que traje de Brasil, un poco de creatividad (inspirada por el internet), y playos de joyería, añadí dos anillo-pulseras a mi colección de joyas. Cada una me tomo entre 3-4 horas para hacer y costo alrededor de $10. Lo mejor es que encuentro que me las pongo muy a menudo!
