Guide on adding a charm to a rope bracelet
2010-07-05 17:26:00
Rope bracelets can give a nautical or rustic boost to any outfit. Rope bracelets, which include any bracelet that resembles actual rope, can be made from many types of materials such as hemp cord, yarn, metal wire or leather. No matter the material, a rope bracelet can be adorned with charms. Start by learning how to add a charm to a rope bracelet.
Slip the nose of the needle-nose pliers inside a crimp end and slowly open the handle of the pliers to spread open the prongs. A crimp end is a hollow piece of metal that has four decorative prongs with a closed loop at the end. An end cap---an elongated, hollow metal cap with a closed loop at the end---does not have prongs to open. Then dab some glue on the first bracelet end.
Use flat-nose pliers to pinch two opposing crimp prongs tight around the rope carefully. Repeat for the second set of opposing prongs. If using an end cap, crimp down on the end cap just once to tighten it around the end of the bracelet.
Now it’s time to attach 1/2 of a clasp such as a toggle clasp to each end of the bracelet. A toggle clasp is made up of two components, a ring and a bar. To close the bracelet, slip the bar through the ring. Slide the jump ring through the closed loop at the end of one of the crimp ends or end caps on the bracelet. Slide the charm onto the jump ring. Pinch the jump ring closed with the flat-nose pliers.
That is all of the works to add a charm to a rope bracelet.
