[dropcap custom_class=”wh”]A[/dropcap]re you looking for a gift for a friend? Or do you want to brighten up your winter clothes? Jewelry with a pop of color is one of the ways I update my typical, black/grey outfit. Now that I’ve put away my summer clothes, I’m looking forward to adding color with a few mix and match bracelets made of faux leather, suede and acrylic rhinestone.

[heading_entrance title=”Let’s take a look at how I made these” text=”Tutorial” custom_class=””][/heading_entrance]

1.  Begin with one acrylic rhinestone and a two loop prong.
2. Using a pair of pliers, gently press on each corner of the prong to secure the rhinestone.
3. Cut six inches of chain gold link. Then cut the chain one more time in the middle, and use a jump ring to secure the prong’s loops to the chain.
4. You can use a lobster clasp and finish the first bracelet.
5. Now for the second bracelet, cut seven inches of faux leather.
6. Gather as many gold jump rings as you’d like, and put them through the faux leather cord.
7. Once you are satisfied with the “look” of the leather cord, use a toggle clasp in antique bronze and secure the bracelet.
8. Experiment with different color of rhinestone, leather cord and gold chain to come up with interesting combinations of bracelets.
