Tutorial - How to Make a Fun Bracelet with Skulls

in #steemitblogger6 years ago

I love steampunk style and of course skulls, especially around Halloween season. I went to my local crafts store and I found a string of skulls, 12 pieces, so I decided to make a bracelet and also a tutorial for you guys, so you can make a bracelet too. I'm not going to get very detailed this time, because I already wrote a tutorial about simple charms and also about how to make a cuff bracelet with memory wire. I assume you already know some basic stuff!

So, here is the bracelet, it is very cool, my daughter already took it and she is wearing today. I guess I have to make some more for sale.

I am using skull beads, some elongated beads, some round beads, regular 24 gauge wire, 2 loops of memory wire and two pieces of chain.

The first four steps are to make the links, as shown below. I made 12 links with skulls and 6 links with only with 3 elongated beads, for the ends of the cuff bracelet.

Now you work on the memory wire coils, sliding one round bead, one link, one round bead, one link. Start and finish with 2 straight links, no skulls.

Attach 2 pieces of chain at the ends, so you don't loose your bracelet.

I love this! When I saw the bracelet in the photo I thought "There is no way I can make this." But I really think I can with your instruction. Where did you get the skulls? This is perfect for Halloween!

You make such cool things. Also steampunk and Halloween and skulls all in one? Yes please! I know I've got a few beads like that laying around. Maybe I'll have to give this a try.
