I am currently obsessed with mixing metals, and wanted a bracelet to match the new gold & silver watch I bought. Weaving together two chains and rhinestones with rope created the perfect statement bracelet to stack!
Supplies: Gold and silver chain from M&J Trimming, Rhinestone, Black Suede rope, pliers, bracelet closure. Click below for the steps.
Tie together the two pieces of chain (two chain should be the same size links so they match up when weaving rope) with a double knot.
Start by weaving together the first link of the chains.
Place the rhinestones in between the two pieces of chain and begin weaving all three.
Continue weaving down the chains, pulling the rope tightly between each link.
Using your pliers, remove any extra links so all three chains line up. Double knot at the end.
Tie the closures on each end. Trim excess rope.
Fasten around your wrist and to create a great mixed metal look!
Pin the step by step!

Anyone know the rhinestone chain size?
Thanks!
Having difficulty finding the correct materials to make.
Cfieser, I am having the same problem. I Really want to make this but cant find the rhinestone chain or gold chain! Any one have ideas for orders online maybe?
Here’s info on size. From 9-28-11 ISpyDIY post “I’ve received a ton of emails about this bracelet and what chain to use. I stopped in at M&J Trimmings to find the chain: Gold Matte Gold 10mm and Matte Silver 10mm $4.95 a yard (call the store to order). Use rhinestone chain where each gem lines up with each link of the chain.”
I bought chain and large Swarovski rhinestone at M&J; Beautiful but really dangerous around sheer fabric, like scarves. I found an online source called Hord Crystal that makes “fabric friendly” rhinestone chain. I re-made mine using the chain mentioned above and their 6.3mm rhinestone chain. Note that rhinestone chain sizes are given in the size of the crystals and does not include the space between.
Hope this helps.
muy bueno este tutorial gracias
totally awesome
thanks so much…

I just wanted to say you are awesome! I made your chain and rhinestone bracelet into a necklace and posted it today, you are super inspiring 🙂
Brooke @ Monikabrooke.blogspot.com
Where can I find those chains? flea market? pls. reply
making this is a lot harder than it seems…. attempting to do it now. and it’s so not working out LOL I’ve been doing this for the past hour
I bought my chains from M&j but they were out of the silver so I bought bright gold and antique gold. Still looks nice. I bought the rhinestone chain on etsy from twpmango as she has the perfect size at a great price, 1 yd of 6mm came in around $10 which included the shipping. Only curb link chain will work since it has to lay flat. I’ve made the bracelet with both split leather and small round leather. The small round leather gives a more open feeling…a little daintier. I almost gave up on this project since I couldn’t get the right materials, but once I did I’m so glad I pushed through with it!

Oh my god!!!! I spotted your website on blog login and now I am in love with everything you do!!! Especially with this bracelet!!!!! I just love it!!!!! Can you please tell me which chains and rhinestones you used from MJTRIM.COM so I can get them and give it a humble try myself…????
Thanks for all the inspiration and creativity you send out to the rest of us!!!!
Chrystalla
I’ve done this and it looks absolutely UH-mazing!!!!!!!
But I have one problem… When I wear it, the chains get misaligned… Like the chains are not straight 🙁
Does anybody else have this problem??
I stumbled upon your Martha Stewart bib segment and now I am hooked to your DIY ISPY site. I spent the whole night going over your entire blog, my husband thought I was obsessed/crazy. I just really like your simple but funky/unique/everyday girl style. You are on trend but you don’t overdo it…hard to explain I guess 😛
Anywhooooo, I just made your bracelet and I love love love it! Off to make my second one so I can stack them like you.
Thanks for sharing! I’m off to buy your book today!
adorable! how do you get the white background? please let me know at misscitychicblog@gmail.com thank you!
This is unreal and definitely doesn’t look like you did it yourself! Love it!

you are so crazy awesome!! I have been wanting this bracelet, and now i can make it for a fraction of the cost!! yay! 🙂
where can i get a rhinestone bracelet like yours?
i finally made one of this!! I kid you not it’s worth it! Love the gorgeous results! although I had to improvise a bit specially on the rhinestone chain and the silver chain. The one I used is for the rhinestone chain is actually a circle crystal chain and the silver chain instead of a matted one shown above the one I used is from Tori Spelling line from Michael’s it’s shinier and has a diamond pattern on it like snake skin :)Keep up the great diy ideas
Thank you for this bracelet 😀
Wow, that is amazing!!! Could you please tell what size gold & silver chain you used in this one?? Thank you so much!! 🙂
I’m about to make a pearl version of it! instead of using a rhinestone chain, with a black and silver chains and a different color for the suede cords! <3 so excited!
Around how much did the supplies cost at M&J?
Hello, I love your detailed and comprehensive tutorial on how to make Chaine and Rhinestone bracelet. We wish to feature this tutorial on our blog if permitted and if there will be a slot available for this technique.
Let me know your thoughts,

I instantly fell in love with this diy idea. I was bound and determined to make it, and so I set out withno experience and tried my first diy. And I’m happy to say, it worked out almost perfectly. There were a lot of trialand errors, but it eventually turned out perfectly. And to boot you can get the chain from Michael’s instead of having to but it online. Happy DI-ing!!!!! : )
I love it ♥

This is rad. My wife always digs some cool scrap metal trinkets. In Minneapolis the punk scene really gets into it too. I sell metal things at the farmers market and punks are my biggest demographic.
Wow, this is amazing!!!
