Chain & Embroidery Floss Bracelet

Today was the last day of Friendship Bracelets.  This one is made from chains and embroidery floss.  Here are the other supplies.

Measure the chain to fit around your wrist and cut it - twice.

Measure approximately 36 inches of embroidery floss and cut it.  We used two widths of embroidery floss. You may need to use more or less depending on the size of the chain.

While holding the two chains together, tie them together with the embroidery floss.

Tape the bracelet to a hard surface for easier "sewing".

Pass the embroidery thread back and forth through both chains.

Once you get to the bottom of the chain, reverse the process and "sew" back up to the starting end.

At the end, tie the ends of the embroidery floss in a knot and cut off the excess floss.

Attach a jump ring and at this point you can add a charm and a lobster clasp.  (We chose to add a rhinestone bauble.)

Add a jump ring to the other end.

Here's the finished product!
