Jewelry Making : How to Make Ankle Bracelets

Hello! My name is Leonardo at legendary beads in Austin; today I’m going to teach you how to make an ankle bracelet. Starting with about 9 inches (this is about average), today we’re gonna be using the snippers, crimpers and chain nose pliers. I have my bead stoppers on here, you’d like to design your necklace and then remove those.

Putting your clasp on, putting your soft flex, soft flex back through your crimp, spinning your spacers on, at least half inch, comfortable loop to your clasp, taking your crimpers on inside channel, making an indention, right angle, roll it. Taking all the slack out off the claps’ side, taking your slack out, make sure not too tight, nice and relaxed. Adding your extender chain on, an extender chain is a nice way to make up salability for your ankle bracelet, not all ankles are created the same so it’s kinda nice to give it an extra inch.

Spinning this spacer on, pull slack through then crimp, first on the inside making indention, right turn, rounding it out, holding your cutters perpendicular and snip. This is how you make an ankle bracelet.
