chain link bracelet:: DIY for less

January 25, 2013

I was perusing JoAnn Fabrics a few weeks back and spotted some chains

that reminded me of some really cute gold chain bracelets I saw on Pinterest and at J Crew.

….

 

 

The chains were actually a purse handle that was on sale for $4.49.

I got the idea to convert the handle into two chain-link bracelets like the ones I saw on

Pinterest and J Crew.  It was super easy! All I had to do was remove a few links.

I did this with pliers, but I’m sure there are other ways to accomplish the same task.

Once a couple of links were removed, they fit perfectly around my model’s wrist.

Thanks to my daughter in law for helping me out!

The other really great thing about this chain is the fact that this is only one way to use it!

I realized that it was big enough that you could also skip the part about taking out the extra links and just wrap it around your wrist as one bracelet.

Another idea would be to add a thick ribbon or scarf to each end and make it a necklace!

These ideas make this chain not only fashionable, but inexpensive AND versatile too! Double whammy! ;)

Happy Fashion Friday!!

So clever – I love it! (and you look WAY too young to have a daughter in law…)
