DIY HEART CHARM ANKLET

8th June 2012

In the last few weeks my mind has turned to anklets of all types, I seem to be spotting them everywhere. They are such a simple DIY, so I thought today I would show you how to make a delicate charm anklet.  I chose a little heart but you can go for any charm you like. Look for one that allows you to attach your chain in two places, as if the charm itself becomes a link in the chain, rather than dangling like a pendant.

You need:
- delicate gold or silver chain – enough to go around your ankle
- a charm of some sort
- 4 jump rings
- a small lobster clasp
- scissors or wire snips
- beading plyers

1. Cut your length of chain in half using the wire snips.

3. On the other end of that same length of chain, attach the charm using a jump ring.

5. Finally, add a jump ring to the other end of the second length of chain, and use this to attach to the lobster clasp to close the anklet.
