DIY chain bracelet

I found this beautiful bracelet on Pinterest and decided that I would make a few as Christmas presents. It ended up being fairly simple and very inexpensive. I got the chains and rhinestones at Michael's, the string at WalMart and the clasps at JoAnn's. I probably could've gotten all the materials at JoAnn's but it was not my first stop. The total cost for this project was about $15 and I made three bracelets with some extra left over. 

The website does a really good job of guiding you through making the bracelet and it did not take me very long to make each bracelet. The first one I did looked bad so I re-did it and it looked great! If I were to do it again I would buy suede string instead of cheap black string, but it still worked. 

The verdict: The above photo is my final product! I think it looks great and the recipients seemed to love them! You can only see one chain because I used two different size chains. Come to find out you are not supposed to do that. Oh well! They look so nice but they are so inexpensive!
