Simple Link Bracelet Tutorial


Happy Saturday! I recently had a fun time making these little link bracelets. They are so simple and easy to make, so I thought I'd share. I hope you enjoy making some of these for yourself or they would make great gifts, too! One of the nice things about this design, the bracelets can be made with an adjustable closure, so they are able to fit a range of wrist sizes.

What you'll need:

1 yard or 36" of 1mm Waxed Cotton Cord - Fire Mountain Gems
1 TierraCast Rhodium Peace Link - Artbeads.com
1 Silver Greek Chip bead - Fire and Fibers

Tools:
Scissors

Note:
The measurements given in the instructions below fit my wrist on the first loop closure.
This bracelet works best if it's fitted perfectly to your wrist, so you may need to adjust the measurements just slightly to get a nice fit. The adjustable closure helps with that a bit though!



It's simple and I love it. It looks really cute layered with other bracelets, too.
Let me know if you make one....or five. Trust me you'll be addicted!
Feel free to link to this tutorial, if you are so inclined.

    Love the simplicity of this. I've got a button and a bronze ring that I think I'll go try this with. Thanks, Erin!

    Cute idea! So simple and looks great layered. I don't know why I don't make bracelets. You make it look so easy. But I have to comment that I actually gasped when I saw your new headshot. Not that I didn't already think you were lovely, but really that is stunning! Now I know where that sweet babe gets her good looks. ;-)
    Enjoy the day.
