Of course, I don't have a bunch of charms lying around, but I did have a surplus of foreign coins from various trips, just gathering dust in a closet.

Using the jewelry attachment on my fancy new Dremel, I buffed the coins to give them a little shine.

Then I laid everything out, making sure the size distribution seemed right. I decided to mix my metals, so I'd be able to wear the bracelet with a variety of other accessories. Then I let the drilling and linking commence! Word to the wise, stick with the Dremel for drilling holes in the coins - I broke two bits when I tried to use my regular wood drill.

Ta da! An old bracelet is new again. Special thanks to my hand model, Jen!
