Make a bracelet base by forming armature wire around a jar or other cylinder-shaped item. Continue to wrap around until you achieve the desired width, about 13 times.
Use wire cutters to snip the end, and slip off jar.
Slide yarn under one coil, and wrap around until the entire bracelet is covered.
Secure the end with a knot, and snip on the inside of the cuff.
you can get the rhinestone chain on ebay. It comes from china, but a lot cheaper than here. The store is called stuff resource
You can get the rhinestone chain from etsy and probably a craft store like Joann's Fabrics
