DIY Charm Bracelet

DIY Charm Bracelet

This simple DIY Charm bracelet is a fun craft idea and also a great gift idea for family and friends. I used to make jewelry back when I was a teen and I have recently revisited jewelry making.

I had nearly forgotten how much I enjoyed handcrafting a piece of jewelry. I would classify these bracelets as charm bracelet style in more of a copycat Alex and Ani style. 

Handcrafting jewelry is a nice activity for teens and adults.

The bracelets not only make for a fun craft session, they are also great as a Mother's Day gift idea or Graduation gift idea.

DIY Bracelet Tutorial

 

Before you start, there are a few things to consider when making bracelets.

  • Choose the band color. These bracelet forms come in silver, gold, and bronze.
  • Choose the charms that you want to include on the bracelet.
  • Decide if you want to include beads as part of the design, as these require an additional component.
  • You will need a few basic materials to make these. 

Materials Needed for DIY Charm Bracelets

  • Adjustable wire blank bangles
  • Charms  - While you can buy single charms at a craft store, you will get a better deal buying sets like these.
  • Beads - these are optional but add color and character to bracelets.
  • Open Eye Beading pins.  You will need these for adding beads.
  • Pilers - Flat nose and needle nose wire pliers are great for so many crafts but are essential to jewelry making.
  • Jump Rings - These are necessary for suspending small items for necklaces and bracelets. It is best to have them in several sizes.
