Skull Bracelet

This might not be oil on canvas but it sure is something you can wear!

What you will need:

Pliers x3: needle nose, flat head and cutters
1 Skull bead: purchased from Country Beads for $1.50 each
1 Flat head pin
Chain - usually sold by the foot or inches so get 6 inches (price varies depending on how baller or cheap you want to be)

2 jump rings
1 clasp


Step one: 
Use the cutters and cut off the flat head of the pin then using the needle nose pliers bend one end of the wire at around 1 centimeter to make a loop.



Step two:
Put the bead through the pin and from the base of the bead leave 1 centimeter of pin then cut off the remainder. Using the needle nose pliers make another loop at the base of the bead ensuring both loops are facing the same way while doing so.


Step three:
Cut the chain in half and attach it to either ends of the top and base loops of the bead.


Step four:
Try it on for size and cut off some excess chain if required. Time to attach the jump rings and clasp with the flat head and needle nose head pliers to finish it off!!!


TA DA!!!!! Arm party guests for less than $4.00 to make.
