This is so much fun! And so easy to do! We are making a bracelet! We need:
- a length of chain that goes around our wrist comfortably
- 7 jump rings
- one closure
- beads
- charms
- headpins
- round nosed pliers
- flat or chain nosed pliers
We first decide where we want the beads and charms to go.
Such decisions!
Each bead goes on a headpin. Then we make a loop at the end of the head pin. We don't close it completely until we are sure where we want it to go .

We lie the chain flat on the table. We open the jump rings and slide the charms on them. We lay everything down in the order in which they will be on the bracelet.
We attach the jump rings to the chain, and close them carefully using the chain-nosed or flat-nosed pliers in one hand and the round-nose pliers in the other. Then we attach the headpins to the chain and carefully close them.
Last but not least we put the closure on a jump ring and attach it to the end of the bracelet.

And here it is, our first bracelet! We are so proud of ourselves! Have fun making one of these with your own grandmas girl, and please send us photos of your creations!
