15. Friendship Promise Ring & Bracelet Combo
What This Idea Means
This connected bohemian hand harness craft combines a delicate cord friendship bracelet with a matching finger ring connected by a central beaded chain running down the back of the hand.
How to Make It
- Craft Ring Loop: Braid a thin 3-strand cord loop that fits comfortably around the middle finger.
- Connect Hand Strand: Attach a beaded thread or thin chain to the ring loop, running down the top of the hand toward the wrist.
- Craft Wrist Bracelet: Craft a simple macramé or braided bracelet for the wrist.
- Join Together: Attach the central hand strand to the middle point of the wrist bracelet using a small jump ring.
- Secure Clasp: Attach an adjustable sliding knot or clasp to the back of the wrist bracelet.
Tips and Variations
- Tips: Measure the back-of-hand distance carefully while the hand is lying flat so the harness doesn’t pull tight when bending fingers.
- Variations: Use dainty gold-filled chain instead of cord for a formal jewelry look.
