Learn how easy it is to make an adjustable bracelet using Slide on Clasps with Beading Chain.

Adjustable bracelets can be a versatile piece of jewelry to fit any size wrist. From our Adjustable Beading Chain Jewelry trend, we used dainty 0.7mm or 1.25mm chains with beads, while adding a Slide on Clasp to create an adjustable bracelet.

What you will need:

• 0.7mm chain (CH00724/CH00725)
• 4x5mm Slide on Clasp (Z008576/Z008577/Z008578)
  OR
• 1.25mm chain (CH01003/CH01004)
• 5.57mm Slide on Clasp (Z008579/Z008580/Z008581)

When measuring the length of chain, measure your wrist length and add 2-2.5 inches. 

1. Cut chain to your desired length. Slide one end through the Slide on Clasp.
2. Lay the other end of the chain parallel to the first chain end.
3. Grasping the two chains, push the Slide on Clasp over the other chain end.

Ways to cap your chain ends:

1. For the 1.25mm chain, use 2mm End Caps with a dab of Super New Glue to add the end cap. (Z008570/Z008574/Z008575)
2. For the 0.7mm chain, crimp a Ring End Cap at the ends. (X001505)
3. Another way to finish off the 0.7mm chain with crimping 2mm crimp tube with the Magical Crimping Tool.

Here’s different ways to design with beading chain with gemstones, beads, etc.

Howlite Silver Bracelet

We used these lovely glossy Howlite gemstones with silver brass beads. However, what we love about this bracelet is pairing it with a Channel Bangle in the Suede Channel Bangle Bracelet. Two bracelets in one.

Knotted necklaces are super easy to make.  You will need Griffin Silk Cord and an assortment of your favorite beads like gemstones, Chinese crystals, metal beads, seed beads, etc. We love using Griffin Silk Cord because you get about 6 1/2 feet of twisted silk cord with a twisted needle. This will give you a 32″ necklace, give or take. In the examples below, we use size No.8 Griffin Cord.
