- [Cody] Hi, today I'm gonna show you
how to make the Footprints on My Heart bracelet.
This quick and easy bracelet
is the perfect gift for Mother's Day,
so let's take a look at the products
and tools we'll need to make it.
(upbeat music)
For this project, I will be using
the expandable charm bangle bracelet.
I'm gonna be using a 16 millimeter
amethyst drop charm by TierraCast,
a 15 by 12 millimeter sterling silver baby footprints charm,
and then a 17 by five sterling silver vertical Mom charm.
And then I have five millimeter 20 gauge open jump rings
that I'll use to attach the charms to my bangle bracelet.
As you can see, the drop charms come in many crystal colors
so it'll be easy for you to customize your bracelet.
For my tools, I will just be using two chain nose pliers.
You can find links to all these beads and supplies
in the description below.
So let's get started.
Okay, so to begin I'm gonna go ahead
and I'm going to pick up a five millimeter jump ring.
And I'm just gonna go ahead and open it
by pulling one side towards me and one side away from me
with my two chain nose pliers.
Then I'm going to slide on my little amethyst charm.
And I'm choosing to put my charms
in the expandable part here of the bracelet,
but you could also put 'em back here too.
However you would like to do your bracelet.
So just go ahead and attack it to the bracelet
and then gently close your jump ring.
Got the first charm on there.
Now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna add the Mom charm.
And as you can see, the sterling silver charm,
it already has a little jump ring on there.
But I wanna use the five millimeter, the smaller jump rings,
to have a nice, uniform size on everything,
so I'm just gonna go ahead and remove this jump ring.
And then I'm going to attach
a five millimeter jump ring to it,
and then I'm going to attach it to the bangle bracelet.
And then the same thing with the footprint charm here.
I'm just gonna go ahead and remove the jump ring
that's already on there.
Set that aside.
And I'm going to use my five millimeter jump ring
to attach it to the bangle.
Just make sure your feet are facing forward
when you put it on there.
Your Mom's not so bad
'cause it says the same thing on both sides,
but your footprint's only on one side there.
Oh.
Attach it to the bangle.
Can't really see that there (laughs)
with the guide in the way.
And then close it.
And now you have this really cute,
quick and easy Mother's Day design
that you can customize for any birthstone color you like
or add charms that would fit your Mom.
