DIY - Turn an old braided Bali bracelet into a necklace

Who doesn't love a good DIY project? Here I show you how to turn that old braided Bali bracelet you keep forgetting to wear, into a necklace you will want to wear all the time. Hope you like it :)







Step 1
Collect your materials. 

You will need:

- Braided bracelet
- Turquoise gemstone nuggets
- Jump rings
- Eye pins
- Leather crimp
- Jewellery pliers
- Various charms
- Chain & Lobster clasp






Step 2
Measure and mark out where each charm will be attached to the bracelet, and thread jump rings through the braid. Thread eye pins through your turquoise gemstone nuggets.






Step 3
Close off your eye pins and attach to the jump rings.






Step 4
Attach your charms to the eye pins, using some more jump rings. Attach the leather crimp to the feather.






Step 5
Attach the chain to the ends of the bracelet using jump rings. Add a lobster clasp, and you're done!
