Filigree Bracelet
Make this pretty bracelet in next to no time. You need between 7 and 9 filigree squares - 9523, depending on the size of your wrist, 1 pack of jump rings - 1376, a lobster fastener - 7287, tiny metallic roses in the colour of your choice, pliers and super glue. Simply link the squares together as triangles, using the jump rings, attach a lobster on one end and jump ring on the other for a fastener. Remember when attaching jump rings to anything, hold the jump ring, with the opening at the top, using the pliers, one either side of the opening. and carefully push one side away from you and one side towards you until the ring is open. To close reverse the procedure. Carefully using the super glue, stick on the metallic roses, leaves to dry, and that's it, a pretty little bracelet that's ready to wear or give as a gift.
The square bracelet is made in the same way except instead of linking the filigrees as triangles, you need to use 2 jump rings and link them one at each corner of the filigree, for this design I have used larger metallic roses and put them on every other square. Also you will have to attach the fastener slightly differently for the square. Attach a jump ring in each corner of the filigree, then link them together with another ring to which you add the lobster on one side and a jump ring on the other.
