They're cute, easy, & inexpensive to make!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who doesn't like a bangle?  They're fun and easy to wear 

and the best part is that one size fits all!  They are adjustable 

and expandable to fit any size wrist.  You can add as few

or as many charms as you wish and personalize for the

person you're making it for :)

Follow these quick and easy steps:

SUPPLY LIST:  

                        wire cuff bracelets

                        charms and/or beads

                        4 - 6 mm jumprings (depending on wire diameter)

                        2 pairs of pliers

STEP 1:  

Gather your supplies.  You can find expandable, adjustable wire cuff

bangle bracelets at your local craft store or on line.  Amazon has several

styles available in a variety of finishes.  While the styles may vary slightly, 

they all have a "locking" mechanism that prevents the charms from

sliding off.  The most popular and least expensive are silvertone/goldtone.

Silver/gold plated as well as sterling silver metals are also available

depending on how much you want to spend.  I would recommend a sliver

or gold plated, as the finish will last much longer than the silver or goldtone

and they are just a few dollars more.  These below are listed at $5.25 ea.

Gold Plated

  

STEP 2:

Gather your charms!  You can use charms, beads, photo charms, 

beach glass, shells, pearls, just about anything that has a hole 

(or that you can drill a small hole in).  If your charms don't come 

with jumprings already attached, you will need to add them to attach

to your bangle.  Use pliers to attach jumprings, add to bangle and then

securely close.  If you are not familiar with jumprings, read this quick 

and easy tutorial first.

STEP 3:

Personalize by adding charms, dangles and handstamped tags.  You

can add to both the "fixed/locked" area of the bangle, as well as the

to the rest of the bangle.

- Wallah! -

Add as few OR as many as you wish!

The options are ENDLESS !

                                  

YOU can do this !

I hope this project has inspired you!
