    Quick Project Steps

    Here's a fun twist on the classic charm bracelet, the Cha-Cha-Charm Bracelet! Get your creative juices flowing, using a variety of charms and beads you will learn how to design this fascinating treasure.
    Turn some buttons into charms using wire. Bring one end through the button hole and wrap around the longer end above the button. Add a bead of your choice to the wire and form a little loop above it. Create various dangles that you would like for your bracelet using beads and charms with the wire.
    Once you have a bunch of dangles made, collect up some beads to separate them out on the string. Watch the Cha-Cha-Charm Bracelet tutorial to see how to string them onto the stretchy bracelet.
    Tie off the bracelet around a bead that is a little bit larger. Try to tie it in a spot that you can hide the knot. Pull the knot tight and add a little bit of glue to keep it secure.
    This Cha-Cha-Charm Bracelet is so much fun to make. It's a great way to use up all sorts of charms, beads and buttons. It would be easy to make a themed bracelet for the holidays or different seasons depending on the colors you choose to use.
