With a few small seashells, nail polish, and a simple chain, you can create an easy piece of beach-inspired jewelry. This beginner-friendly project is perfect for a relaxed weekend craft.

Supplies

• Small seashells
• Chain (use existing chain or bulk chain)
• Small beads (to glue to the top of shells to connect a jump ring)
• Jump rings and a lobster clasp
• Jewelry Pliers – Needle Nose, Round Nose, and Wire Cutters
• Nail polish
• E6000 Adhesive 
• Tweezers

How to Make A Seashell Bracelet

STEP 1:

Start by painting small seashells with nail polish. Paint the front, let that dry, then paint the backs. Get creative and paint them any color you’d like.

STEP 2:

Use E6000 and tweezers to glue a small bead onto the top of each shell. Use a small bead, but one that has a large enough hole that you can feed a jump ring through. Let dry overnight before continuing.

STEP 3:

Use wire cutters to cut your chain to the desired length. I cut the chain for my bracelet 7.25 inches long.

STEP 4:

Feed jump rings through each bead with the chain attached, and use needle-nose pliers to close the ring.

STEP 5:

Last, use a jump ring to attach a lobster clasp to the end of the chain.
