How to Put on a Bracelet

Without the help of others, trying to hold a bracelet on one wrist as you work the clasp with the opposite hand can be a tricky and frustrating task. If you find yourself battling with your jewelry each morning, making a fashion statement doesn't have to be such a struggle. A few tips can help you put on the bracelet quickly and easily.

Things You'll Need

• Clear tape

Instructions

1. Drape your bracelet over your wrist so that the clasp hangs down the underside of your wrist and dangles even with the underside of your pinky finger. Hold both ends of the clasps with your opposite hand and the set your wrist, palm up, on your knee.

2. Tip your wrist so that your thumb faces up and then support the back of your wrist against and table, desk, bookshelf or even the wall. You should be holding one end of the bracelet between your knee and wrist and the midsection of the bracelet against the wall.

3. Open the clasp with your opposite hand and carefully slip it through the loop, connecting your bracelet. This will be much easier if your bottom clasp is the one you must open and the top clasp, which is hanging freely, is the one you hook the other into.

4. Place a piece of clear tape above the top clasp if the bracelet continues to slip away. Make sure that you place the tape so that the hole of the clasp is face up, making putting on the clasp easier. Remove the tape and you are ready to go.
