DIY Charm Bangles

I am so excited to share today's project with you, it may be one of the easiest and requires ALMOST no tools. We will be making a Charm Bangle Bracelet, you can customize it to your own liking. To begin please continue ahead for the tutorial.



Supplies Needed: 
  • Adjustable Bangle ( I get mine here )
  • Charms of your choice
  • Jump Rings
  • Chain Nose Pliers (or any flat pliers) 


Open a jump ring with your nose pliers and add the charms and open jump ring onto the bangle, close jump rings. continue to add the jump rings onto the charms and the bracelet. Add as much or as little as you desire. 


If you would like to make the bangle yourself, you will need: 
(This is  LITTLE more complicated especially if its your first time making jewelry) 
  • Memory wire 16 gauge wire is what I use
  • Wire Cutters
  • Round Nose Plier
  • Measuring tape ( you will only need about 11inch for a 7 inch bracelet) 
  • Same tools listed above


Directions: 

Bend one side of the wire side downward  about 12mm from the end, have it look like the letter L or a 90 degree angle. Use your round nose pliers to form a loop. 

Open a jump ring with your nose pliers and add the charms and close it. Do this to every charm you are planning to use. 

String the open side of the wire through the loop we created earlier. 

String the charms onto the wire. 

Bend the wire in a L or at 90 degree angle about 12mm from the end. Use the round nose pliers to form an opening loop and hook the loop onto the other side of the wire and close it tightly with the round nosed pliers. 

And there you have it your very own charm bangle bracelet.
