Örme bileklikler

First, you’ll need leather and/or suede lacing, various rhinestone strands and ball chain, chunky lobster clasps and embroidery thread (which I forgot to include in the photo):

Step 1: Cut a length of leather or suede lacing (for a double wrap I cut mine in 16″ lengths). Fold leather/suede lacing over the o-ring side of the lobster clasp as shown. Knot a piece of DMC embroidery thread around the leather to hold it in place:

Step 2: Lay your rhinestone strand or ball chain on top of the lacing and begin wrapping the thread around it to secure them together:

Step 3: As you get about 2″ from the end of the lacing add on your lobster clasp.

Step 4: Fold the lacing under the bracelet and continue wrapping the thread until you reach the end.

Step 5: Using metal cutters, cut the rhinestone strand or ball chain so it ends just before the fold. Knot your thread securely around the last section of chain.

Step 6: Use a needle to thread the end of the thread back down into the bracelet.

A finished bracelet!

I made one of the bracelets using a large ball chain….like the kind you would find on a lamp.

I double wrapped this one with thread to get a different look:

My favorite is the long-short ball chain:

Because of the alternating sizes of balls, the result is a perfectly consistent twisted look once you wrap it with thread:
