Instructions
This easy to make bracelet can be made by following some simple steps that are given below:
1. Cutting of rope and threading
First of all, cut a two feet long rope from the available length of rope. If you are a novice, then you should take the length to be somewhat more than two feet so as to save wastage of your time and efforts. Once you have the piece of rope with you, you need to thread the rope with the very first link of the chain and then knot it with the chain in such a way that the knot should be exactly in the middle. Now, with the remaining length of the rope, you need to thread it through the top most link of the chain and this process is to be continued till the time you reach the middle end of the rope.
2. Threading the other side
Now, you would be required to thread the rope through each and every link of the chain and you must also include a piece of the first rope you had tied before so as to ensure symmetry. This process of threading must be continued till one already completed side of the chain is covered. Similarly, you need to go for the threading of the other side. It is advisable that you continue threading in the direction of the chain. The reason for this is that the rope must fit in properly in the grooves of the chain.
The chain bracelets with a rope twist add a dash of creativity and unique style to your outfit.
3. Tie the knots
Subsequently, in the process, while you complete the threading and you reach an end, tie double knots so that the two sets of the rope settle down.
4. Trimming of the ends
After this, the ends need to be trimmed with a polished manner. And in order to reinforce the knot, you can also use superglue. Now you need to add up the jump rings and hold them with the lobster clasp. The moment you tie the rings and attach the lobster clasp, what you get is a beautiful bracelet that is the result of your hard work, concentration and of course, your style sense! This bracelet can be worn on nearly every dress and thus, you need not worry about choosing the right kind of outfit that would go with the bracelet. Also, you can always make such bracelets and gift them to your friends and leave them wondering about from where did you manage to grab one of those! Then break the code and come out glowing with compliments for your creative venture.
