Instructions:

You will also need a ruler, an applicator for your E6000 (such as a thin wire or toothpick) and a binder clip for this project. Please note, the instructions make a 6.5" total length bracelet. If you need a longer bracelet, please adjust your lengths accordingly.

The making of this entire bracelet is shown in the video: How to Tie Rhinestone Cup Chain onto Curb Chain.

Please view the video to see how to make this bracelet.

You will need 8 inches of cord per inch of finished bracelet that you make. After you measure the amount of cord you need, add an extra 10 inches just to be on the safe side before cutting.

Cut your curb chain first to the length you want your bracelet to be. After you cut the chain, count the links. You will want your rhinestone chain to be 2 links longer then your curb chain. For instance, if your curb chain is 24 links long, your rhinestone chain should be 26 links long.

Have fun making these stylish bracelets for you and your friends!

Instead of having a separate jump ring for the lobster clasp to hook onto, this bracelet has it connecting to the last chain link on the other side of the bracelet. The result is a sleek continual look to the chain.

Variations

Choose a different color of cord to tie your chains together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
