I choose to hang charms with small Swarovski crystals on them to add a touch of color and sparkle.
Bracelets like that are fun to wear when they have dangling sparkly charms on them.
Start by Appling the E6000 glue into the small holes and place the crystals into their place. I choose Rose water opal and light blue crystal colors.
Connect the charms with the 4mm jump rings to the 8mm big jump ring.
Use two plier tools to open and close the jump rings.
Step 3# Closing the bracelet
To finish the bracelet, slide the crimp bead on the end of the leather cord and press it tightly around the leather with the plier tool.
Connect the clasp on one side, and the 5cm extension chain on the other side
