DIY Pandora Bracelet for under $20

Okay so like most other women, I've been wanting a pandora bracelet for awhile. Sigh....I would be pissed if my hubby spent $300 on a bracelet, especially when he is married to the discount mommy :)

Moving on to that faux pandora bracelet, its really cheap and really simple. 

Here are your supplies:

 

All supplies came from Walmart:

 

Plain Bracelet - $3.50

One Pack of Beads/Charms- $5.00

Initial Charms-$2.00 each/ $6.00  (I used 3)

 

 

 

 

 

You will need needle nose pliers and cutting pliers for this project. I used my hubby's and put them back before he noticed lol.

 

Open up all your packages and lay out your beads and charms in the order you wish to add them to your bracelet.

 

Unscrew one of the balls on the side of your bracelet and set aside. Don't loose it!

 

 

 

Add your beads and charms. For the initial charms I chose, I had to remove the clasp at the top for it to fit onto the ring smoothly. Using your cutting pliers, cut off the top clasp. Don't cut the large circle jump ring holding the initial.

 

Using your needle nose pliers, open up the large jump ring. You want to make it large enough so that is slides easily back and forth on the bracelet, but small enough so that it doesn't fall off.

 

Once you add all your beads and charms, put the circle ball screw back on the end, make sure it is on very tight so you do not lose any charms.

 

You are done!

 

 I also own a Hallmark "pandora bracelet" and those charms also fit onto this bracelet as well.

I found all the charms, initials and braclet cuff in the beads/crafts section at walmart.

They also had baby carriages, houses, rings, cars, and vacation charms as well.

 

TOTAL COST FOR THIS PROJECT:  $14.50
