DIY: *Fancy* Chain Bracelet

Chain bracelets are everywhere and I personally love the trend.  The look is very classy, timeless, and of course *fancy.*

So when I saw this necklace at an art fair I scooped it up for $1.00!   I wasn't really intrigued by the necklace itself but instead the "bones" aka the chains.  I thought it would be super easy to tear apart and make into bracelets.

So I compiled my supplies and here is what you need (which you can pick up at any local craft store):

~chain...I used the necklace obviously

~jump rings and lobster clasp

~clamp jewelry tool

Step 1: remove the chain from the necklace using your clamp tool

Step 2: measure the chain to your wrist size...mine is about 7 inches

Step 3: using the clamp tool cut the chain to fit wrist

Step 4: attach a jump ring and lobster clasp to one end

Step 5: attach a jump ring to the other end

Step 6: Wear and Enjoy!

Here I am wearing the new bracelet layered with some of my other favorites.

I even had enough chain to make 2 bracelets and think they look great layered together.

Total project cost was $5 which is only $2.50 per bracelet.  Now that is what I call *fancy* DIY!
