Rainbow Mushroom Bangle Bracelet Craft

How to Make a Rainbow Mushroom Charm Bracelet

This cute rainbow mushroom bangle bracelet craft is fun to make and easy enough for a jewelry making beginner.

I love wearing bracelets and these magic mushrooms are just too cute!

It makes me happy to wear the charm bracelet and it is so fun to be able to tell people that I made it myself.

Make a bracelet for yourself or give it as a gift to a friend or family member.

The supplies are budget friendly, so it’s a great jewelry making craft for a group activity in a classroom or at a party.

You could also make a nice profit selling the rainbow bangles at a craft fair.

Are Mushrooms Trendy?

Yes! And this is a trend that I am here for.

Mushrooms are very popular for jewelry, clothing, crafts and home decor.

The fungi are good for gardeners and foodies who enjoy growing or eating mushrooms.

Fans of fantasy and fairy tale books, movies and TV shows like mushrooms, too.

A fairy can live in a mushroom house, Hobbits like mushrooms and Alice in Wonderland enjoys magic mushrooms.

Most importantly, mushrooms are really cute!

Resin Mushroom Charms

These little mushroom charms are adorable!

I used three dimensional resin mushroom charms in rainbow colors for the mushroom bangle bracelet, since they look super cute from all directions.

These mushrooms have rounded caps, but you may like others that have more of a pointed cap.

The charms are packaged with all of the magical colors and others in one set.

Expandable Bangle Bracelet

Adjustable bangle bracelets are wonderful to work with and they are a pleasure to wear.

An added bonus is that these bracelet blanks are very budget friendly, very.

You can get a pack of 60 of these bracelets to add your own charms to for less than you’d pay for one bracelet at the mall.

Mine are silver, but steel, rose gold and yellow gold tone adjustable bracelets are good options, too.

A regular circular bangle needs to be big enough to fit over your hand, so it slides down instead of resting nicely on your wrist.

This bangle expands to slide onto your wrist and the contracts, when it’s on.

The bangle rests on your wrist, so it looks nice and doesn’t get in the way when you are using your hands.

Jump Rings

The small circle findings used to connect jewelry components are called jump rings.

They are positioned between the charm and the bangle to keep it hanging freely and dangling at a nice angle.

If this is your first time making jewelry at home, you can pick up an inexpensive package of jump rings to use now and on future DIY projects.

The small rings have an opening that you can open up with pliers and then close it up again when your jewelry components are in place.

They come in different sizes and in different types of metal.

I find it handy to keep assorted sizes of gold and silver jump rings available for jewelry making projects at home.

You can use jump rings to match the other jewelry findings you are using or you can mix and match, if you’d like.

Pliers

Pliers are a helpful tool for jewelry making.

Needle nose pliers are handy to open up jump rings and attach your jewelry components together.

I find it easiest to use pliers with a short pointed tip, but you may like a longer tip or even a curved (hooked) tip.

You can use regular household needle nose pliers, if you already have them on hand.

Or you can get needle nose jewelry pliers with comfortable grips to keep with your other DIY jewelry tools and supplies.
