DIY safety pin bracelet




I made this cute little bracelet after finding this black safety pin lying around my room. I love all types of jewellery, but mainly anything edgy and delicate. This is perfect for achieving that look! I am a graphic design student, so I'm constantly sketching and mocking up ideas on my macbook - chunky bracelets just get in the way, so this one is perfect for me. I forget it's even there! 


Things you'll need: 
Needle nose pliers 
2 small jump rings 
safety pin - any size you like
Chain - long enough to fit your wrist. 








1. Make sure the chain is the correct length for your wrist. Attach a jump ring to one end of the chain and the un opening end of the safety pin. 


2. Now attach the other jump ring to the other end of the chain. The ring should easily slide into the safety pin so that you can close it. If this isn't the case you can always use the needle nose pliers to slightly widen the top of the safety pin - but not too much as you still want the pin to close! 

3. Now you have yourself a safety pin bracelet, wear it alone, or mix it in with the usual bracelets you wear.
