How to Make a Cuff Bracelet Out of Old Necklaces

How many old dingy silver necklace chains do you have lurking in the back of your jewelry box? Get rid of the clutter and add a few new accessories to your collection for nothing. Thick mesh cuff bracelets are extremely popular because they are versatile. Read on to learn how to make a cuff bracelet out of old necklaces.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Five necklace chains
• Jewelry cleaner or silver polish
• A hair barrette or bobby pin

1. Gather your old necklace chains and give them a good cleaning. If they are silver, use a dry silver cloth and a polish or cleanser to remove tarnished spots.
2. Clasp all the necklaces together in one continuous line. Leave the final clasp undone so you will not complete a full circle.
3. Wrap the chain around your wrist fairly snug and clasp together.
4. If the chains are very thin and you want to secure them in place, take a decorative barrette or a bobby pin and slide it over the bracelet from front to back.
