There are simple tricks to make ill-fitted clothing or accessories fit nicely. I’m showing you these hacks in a multi-part series. Up today: how to close a clasp bracelet by yourself.
Time is running out. Nervously, I fiddle with my bracelet. To no avail. Every time I’m in a rush, my skilled hands let me down. My fingers slip off the clasp or miss the eyelet. The tram’s leaving in five minutes, but I keep on trying to do up the piece of jewellery. Unlike my morning care and beauty routine, I haven’t quite mastered putting on bracelets in my sleep. What I need is a third hand – or a hair pin. In today's part of this series, I'll show you a life hack for putting on bracelets with one hand.
This is what you need
How it works
The shorter and more delicate the bracelet, the trickier the job. With the help of a bobby pin, you can gain some length, which gives you more leeway when closing it. Pull the bobby pin through the split ring and hold it tight. Now, put your bracelet around your wrist as you normally would and hook the lobster clasp to the ring. This simple trick doesn’t just speed things up in the morning but also keeps my stress levels down.
