How to Make a Three-Strand Bracelet
You often see three-strand beaded bracelets, but have you considered making one with chainmail? The key to success is to have three strands with similar diameters. Here are some ideas to get you started:
1、Use three identical strands of the same chainmail weave: You could mix it up with two different metals, like black on the outside strands and silver in the middle. Or, try silver on the outside and bronze in the middle.
2、Use two strands of the same chainmail weave with a different third strand: For example, combine a simple weave like Jens Pind with a more intricate one like Chinese Knot.
3、Combine two chainmail strands with a Swarovski crystal chain in the middle: This adds sparkle and color. I used this idea to make Christmas gifts for my two daughters.
4、Combine two chainmail strands with a strand of beads in the middle: You can use art glass, pearls, gemstones, crystals, or acrylic beads, with metal spacer beads. First, make the chainmail strands the right length, then match the bead strand to that length.
