DIY Style: Woven Braided Curb Chain Bracelet

Here's another bracelet project {DIY Woven Chain Bracelet} I saw at Honestly...WTF.  I really like this one; it's so simple.  Much simpler than the {braided hex nut bracelet}, but then again, I complicated mine by adding chains, clasps, jump-rings, etc.

I bought these two small curb chain bracelets at the Canton Street Antique Market in Roswell, GA, for $3 each.  The embroidery floss is only 40 cents each at Hobby Lobby (I used DMC colors: white, ecru, 154, 915, 3607, and 3740).  Each bracelet ended up costing roughly $4ish.  Not too bad.  I love how you can choose as many or as few colors as you like. I decided to make one a neutral cream and the other pink and plum.

I modified their directions just a little.  On the cream bracelet, I used 2 sets of 5 strands of thread (10 total), and on the purple bracelet, I used 2 sets of 8 strands of thread (16 total).  Also, because my chain links were much smaller, I used a small hairpin instead of a bobby pin.  It was a little confusing as first, figuring out which strand crossed over and under where, but it soon became clear and easy.
