jamie b hannigan - wishbone bracelet

anthro vs me

For this project you will need:

  • 1 wishbone charm or pendant – I found mine at a flea market for $1
  • wire – I used 24g
  • enough chain to span your wrist twice
  • a lobster clasp
  • round nose pliers
  • wire cutters

1. Measure a length of chain to go around you wrist twice, then fold it in half. Cut a 3″ piece of wire.

2. Thread the wire through the link of chain at the middle.

3. Use your round nosed pliers to make a wrapped loop with the wire.

4. Thread your clasp onto the wire, and make another wrapped loop to secure it. Trim the excess wire.

5. Cut a 7″ piece of wire to wrap around one end of the wishbone. Wrap the wire over itself, like shown, to secure it.

9. If you don’t have a large jump ring (I did not), make a large wrapped loop through the top of your wishbone for your clasp to go through.
