Rhinestone & Ball-Chain Wrap Bracelet

  Well, today was absolutely gorgeous, with warm-enough weather.  Which I must say is fantastic!
  For the past few days, I wore this adorable little bracelet, and it's so much fun.  The bracelet consists of a small ball-chain (enough to wrap three times around my wrist), a decent amount of embroidery floss, and a rhinestone chain (long enough to wrap around my wrist once).  As always, my trusty super glue, wire cutters, and scissors were part of my main supplies.
 
(I forgot to take off my hair-tie, so don't get confused!)

  So, if your interested in making one of these little bracelets, here are some basic instructions:
1) measure three pieces of embroidery floss (just a little longer than your rhinestone chain) and braid them together, knotting both ends.
2) cut ANOTHER piece of embroidery floss (twice as long as your braid) and tie it to one of the knots.
3) wrap the piece of embroidery floss around the braid and in-between each rhinestone.  Finish wrapping entire length of braid and rhinestone chain together.
4) glue both ends of the braid and string to the ends of the rhinestone chain.  Let dry, cut off excess.
5) use the connecting ends of the rhinestone chain to fasten the colorful-rhinestone chain to your ball-chain. 
6) wrap around your wrist three times, and add those cute friend ship bracelets!

  Good luck!  I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!
