    Quick Project Steps

    Use basic wire working techniques and specially selected natural gemstones to represent our local neighborhood in the universe.
    1. Begin by gathering natural gemstones for each of the planets and the sun. Add each one to a headpin. 2. Watch the Solar System Charm Bracelet video tutorial for step-by-step instructions on how to turn each headpin into a charm. 3. Once all your charms are completed, add them to the pre-finished bracelet in the correct order. Cut a length of chain to necklace length and add a clasp with jump rings for a longer version to match! Add planet charms in the same way.
