Full of fun chunky charm bracelet that looks just like a pumpkin patch!
First you make a series of charms, threading selections of beads onto headpins, and creating a hanger loop for the leaves. You
then you bring them together into little bunches using the oval jump rings, attach them evenly spaced along the chain “et
voila!’ - a beautiful bracelet.
Onto a headpin thread 1A and 1B. Trim and loop. Repeat until you have used all the B beads.
Onto a headpin thread 1C, 1D. Trim and loop. Repeat until you have used all the D beads.
Onto a headpin thread 1E, 1F, 1E. Trim and loop. Repeat until you have used all of the F beads.
Onto a headpin thread 1A, 1G. Trim and loop. Repeat until you have used all of the G beads.
Onto a headpin thread 1C, 1H, 1C. Trim and loop. Repeat until you have used all of the H beads.
You will now put all of the leaf beads onto U shaped bails. To do this you make a 90 degree turn in an
eyepin, about 2mm below the loop, thread on a leaf and bring it up close to the bend just made, curl the
eyepin up around the other side of the leaf. Trim the wire and make a loop. The loops at the top of the
leaf beads all need to be facing toward each other so that you can easily slip both loops onto a jump ring
as shown - right.
You now assemble the bracelet. Measure the length of chain you need for your wrist - don’t make it too tight as the added
charms will bulk it up a little. Use one jump ring to attach the fastener at one end of the chain. Attach the extension chain to
the other end of the wrist chain with a second jump ring.
Lie the chain down in front of you, assemble the charms into little groups and space them along the length and, using the
remaining jump rings, attach them to the chain in clusters.
