This is a really simple way to spruce up a basic chain bracelet. I'm not a big fan of chunky jewelry, so this is a nice way to add some color without adding bulk. :D All you need is some embroidery floss or thin yarn and you're ready to make a whole new bracelet!

I really like this bracelet! The thick chains against the teeny little beads gives a really nice contrast.

I had no idea what I was doing. I originally tried to use nylon quilting thread, and that turned into a big mess. Thread by itself did not produce a big enough knot to keep the beads in place.
