MY DIY | Knot Chain Bracelet
DIY PROJECT, Jewelry DIY
After admiring the awesomeness of Refinery 29’s DIY friendship bracelet, they asked me to come up with additional piece of jewelry to add to mine (and theirs) ever growing collection of wrist candy. I took the challenge, and mixed chain with my current knotting technique of choice, to create a pretty pastel bracelet, similar to past styles seen here and here.
Steps after the break…
Supplies:
Jewelry pliers
Jump Rings
Lobster Clasp
Step-by-step (picture of all the steps here)
1. Cut rope in half
2. Thread both pieces through the bottom link of the chain
3. Next, set up your workspace by taping the top of your chain, and bottom of one of the pieces of suede rope
4. Cross the rope on the right over the middle two pieces
5. Cross the left rope over the right one
6. Tricky step: Take the left piece and cross under the two middle pieces, and through the loop on the right side
7. Put the left and right side
8. Create your first knot
9. Next repeat the process starting on the left side, crossing the left side over the two middle pieces
10. Cross the right rope over the left rope
11. Take the right piece and cross under the two middle pieces, and through the loop on the left side
12. Pull tight
13. Continue the process for 2 inches
14. Thread the two middle pieces through your second piece of chain
15. Knot your rope to secure to the chain. Dab a bit of super glue on the knot to hold.
16. Using your pliers connect the chain to the lobster clasp with your jump ring
17. Add 3 jump rings to the other end

You could probably use jump rings and attach charms to the cord part too. Or use beads and straight pins…….oh the possibilities!

Thank you for this clever tip. I bought a bracelet from an acquaintance that broke and she would fix it for me for the same price I paid for the “overpriced piece”. I only bought it to support her and now I am stuck with a broken piece. Thanks to you I can reincarnate it!
Very cute! and simple 🙂
I would really like to know what size curb chain you used as well!
This is my next project!

Lovelovelove! One question: did mj trimmings cut the chain down to size? I was looking at their website, and they seem to only sell it online in large quantities. If not, could you do it easily at home?
It’s super lovely~
but i have tried several times, and somehow at the end the braid is twisted a little, it’s not as flat as yours.
What have I done wrong?
Adorable…

It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most fatal cancer. It has unusual attributes. The more I really look at it the more I am assured it does not work like a true solid cells cancer. In the event that mesothelioma is often a rogue viral infection, so there is the chance for developing a vaccine as well as offering vaccination to asbestos open people who are really at high risk involving developing long run asbestos relevant malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas for this important health issue.
