I have made a vintage charm bracelet with antique gold plated brass beads and religious crosses. It is very fashion and eye-catching. Do you like to make a similar one? I am glad to share my design with you. The materials I have used contain round brass beads, several different designed religious crosses, a round religious pendant, some black and orange round acrylic beads, small clear bicone acrylic beads, a brass chain, an antique gold lobster clasp, some pins and jumprings. Measure your wrist first and cut off the chain with suitable length. Use headpins to string one clear bead, one orange bead and one brass bead together and attach them onto the chain at average distance. Use head pins and eye pins to string four black acrylic beads together and attach them on the chain too. Use jumprings to attach those religious crosses on chain at suitable places and attach the pendant at the middle of the bracelet. The last step is attaching the lobster clasp. An attractive vintage bracelet is finished.
