How to Make a Simple DIY Charm Bracelet with Chain

This week on Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, I make a simple charm bracelet with some leftover chain, connectors, jump rings and a toggle clasp. Learn how to make a basic DIY charm bracelet with this tutorial. 

Supplies:

Assorted Charms

Connectors

Jump Rings

Chain

Clasp

Chain Nose Pliers

Flat Nose Pliers

Cutters

Your handmade charm bracelet can be as complicated or as simple as you like. You can create your own charms, make the bracelet with chain, beads, partially beaded, bangles and more!

The charms I used are from years of collecting, I cannot pin point exactly where they are from, but many are charms made by TierraCast. You can find charms based on a theme or choose charms that personalize the bracelet for the person you are making the bracelet for.   

Each month we collaborate with Jesse James Beads to provide us with Soft Flex exclusive bead strands and mixes. These are limited quantity beads that can only be found at SoftFlexCompany.com. The sweet little tassels are from some of those mixes!
