DIY charm bracelet

Need a gift idea? I made this charm bracelet for $10 using all my supplies from hobby Lobby, don't forget to take a 40% off coupon. You need: decorative trim (very thin), 3 charms (can be beads, letters, etc), tiny & med size jump rings, bracelet chain, and either jewelry wire, super glue, or need & thread(see steps first to decide which one u need)
 1. Use your smaller jump rings to put charms on.
 2. Attach all your charms ( on Juno rings) to larger jump ring.
3.measure decorative trim next to bracelet chain giving an extra inch slack
4.weave trim through link under clasp giving an 1/2 in slack.
5 & 6. Weave trim throughout chain.
7. Cut extra trim slack to 1/3" and wrap around second link.
8. This is the option step you can do what I did and wrap jewelry wire around this top link over top the slack trim left over or you can neatly put a dap of super glue to hold it down or sew it down.
9. Do this step again for other end.
10. Add jump ring with charms to middle of bracelet
