A few weeks ago I posted about the Chunky Chain trend and I finally got around to making my own. I took a road trip with a friend to our nearest Hobby Lobby. I found this thick chain perfect for making a necklace or bracelet. I bought a half a yard of the chain but when I got home, I realized it would only be long enough for a necklace. I really wanted a bracelet too, so I decided to add some thinner chain to be able to make both! Here’s how…

Materials:

– Thick Chain (Cut to approximately 6.5″ for bracelet & 13.5″ for necklace.)
– Thin Chain
– 2 sizes of jump rings
– Jewelry fastener
– Pliers

Necklace
Step 1: Attach the larger sized jump rings to each end of the 13.5″ chunky chain. Cut a 24″ piece of chain (longer/shorter based on your preference). Then “fold” the chain in half two times.

Step 2: Attach the smaller sized jump ring through one end of the folded chain. Attach that jump ring to the larger one on the necklace. Repeat with the other side.

Voila! Chunky Chain Necklace!

Bracelet
Step 1: Attach a large jump ring on one end of the 6.5″ piece of thick chain.

Step 2: Repeat on the opposite side, this time adding a fastener.

And you’re done! A simple project with a big impact!
