In honor of Hallmark’s ‘Finding Father Christmas’, we are going to be making a charm bracelet like the one in the movie that gives Miranda, the main character, a clue to her own family history.
No charm bracelet is ordinary! The beauty about charm bracelets is that they tell a story – whatever you have going on in your life, or whatever you want to celebrate, you can get a charm for that. You can theme them for a certain event for yourself or give them as a gift.
Here is what you need to get started …
You Will Need:
- Silver (or the metal of your choosing) chain in your desired length, or you can buy a pre-built charm bracelet from the craft store.
- 1 Set of silver jewelry jump rings
- Needle-nosed pliers (or a jewelry pliers kit)
- Wire cutter
- Charms
How-To:
- Measure the desired amount of chain that you would like.
- Cut the chain with the wire cutter at your desired length.
- Open one of the jump rings with your pliers and attach it to a part of your chain. Add a charm to the jump ring. Once the jump ring is through the chain, re-close the ring with your pliers by squeezing it back together.
- Repeat this process for all charms.
- Put around your wrist and wear with pride!
