This step by step tutorial was written to add safety chain to my Swarovski style bracelet, but can easily be adapted to many styles of bracelets. The techniques shown in this tutorial work for any bangle where the ends are wrapped, with or without a clasp. Techniques show are for adding the chain only; it doesn't cover creating the entire bracelet. This tutorial assumes you have the Swarovski Crystal Bracelet tutorial, or know how to make this style.

Or a 14 to 16 gauge nail
2 inches thin chain, any style but box chain.
2 - 5 or 6mm jump rings
1 small clasp of your choice
Tools needed:
Ruler
Cleaning cloth
Chain nose pliers

We'll start with adding chain to the beginning of making your bracelet. It can also be added to a completed bracelet. (We'll cover that in a bit)
After you have placed 2 wraps on the bracelet end, take the scrap piece of wire and hold it parallel to the side of the bracelet, under the wrap wire. Note: If you don't have a heavy gauge piece of wire, you can use a smaller gauge folded in half.
