On one end of the bracelet it’s bent to create a small hole, and on the other end is a rod with a ball that screws off. It’s easy to unscrew the ball, pull the rod out of the hole, put on beads and/or charms, then reconnect the bracelet and replace the ball. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I also bought an assortment of charms—fruit and veg, moon and stars, sea creatures, flowers, and birds. I have a variety of jump rings. And I have a bag of wooden beads of different sizes and colors, all with big holes that can accommodate the bangle. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So yesterday I discovered how easy it is to make a nice bracelet, combining all these things. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If I get serious and put jump rings on the charms I want to use, I could make lots of bracelets, and none of the parts cost very much at Amazon. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just thought I’d share.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tracy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
