their way & the DIY way

My sister saw these bracelets recently on a {reality show} celebrity and wanted to have them immediately! Instead of purchasing the below set for $62 she set out and made her own {and so graciously made me a set too}. You too can have your own with the simple steps below!

the DIY way

 Once you get the bracelets head out to your local crafts store and pick out your favorite charms {pick up some jump rings too}. To put the charms on you will need the jump rings and 2 pair of  pliers. Follow the simple steps below to add the charms to the bracelets!

  • Hold a pair of pliers in each hand
  • Use the pliers to grab onto one side of the opening of the jump ring
  • Take the other pliers and grab the other side of the ring
  • Push one side away from you while pulling the other side toward you so the jump ring opens
  • Hold on to the jump ring with one set of the pliers and with the other attach the charm
