Christmas is coming and finding the perfect gift can sometimes be hard.  How about a personalized bracelet? 

This one if simple and quick to make.  A bonus when lists grow long and time is short.

You will need:

First cut out the letters in the name you will be putting on your bracelet.  Make sure you have enough extra fabric to cover your button.

Center your letter over the button and following the button covering instructions make your buttons

Measure a length of chain big enough for your wrist.  Open the ends of your chain using the needle nose pliers.

Insert the clasps and close up the chain.

Center your name on the chain.
