A simple way to add extra interest to a beaded chain is to create wrapped links. Not only is this style of chain very strong, you can also easily add extra detail by wrapping the wire around the beads. This makes the chain pretty enough to use on its own or make a focal necklace extra special.

The finished look is greatly affected by using different sized and shaped beads.

The finished length of this bracelet is 8”, with an inside circumference of 7” due to the size of the beads. You can adjust the length by increasing or decreasing the number of wrapped links you use accordingly.
