5 Now you are ready to attach your beads onto the chain, cut the chain to your wrist size a little tighter than you need as you have the extension chain to make is bigger. Also remember to leave a couple of links free either side to attach the clasp on at the end, and if you need to adjust the length slightly.

6 Using the jump rings 6mm attach the Swarovski pearls along the bracelet, next attach the 2 x 4mm Swarovski to one jump ring and attach this next to the pearl, now add the rhondell with the Czech bead and next the leaf, repeat this pattern, alternate the rhondells with and without the Czech beads, leave a few links between each bead and leaves.

7  To finish attach the trigger clasp with the 7mm thick jump ring to one side at the end of the chain and the extension chain to other

You have now completed your charm bracelet…..

Well done!
