Collection of Anklets Designs
~ fun projects to make

Anklets are very popular amongst Indian ladies. They worn these on their ankles as ornaments. Today, modern women wear anklets with evening gowns, day dresses, shorts or jeans.

Indian dancers wear those that have bells and or with hollow beads and charms added so that when they dance, these adornments emphasize their movements with rhythmic jangles.

Take a walk down little India and you will see some of the ladies wearing them. They look especially beautiful on feet with painted nails.

Types : Flexible and Non-Flexible

There are two kinds; flexible and non-flexible. Flexible are those made with chains and beads while those inflexible ones are made of flat sheets just like bangles.

Materials Used

Material used are usually either gold, silver, non-precious metals or leather. Gemstones, glass beads, charms, bells and other embellishments are also used to adorn them.

Today, flexible anklets are very popular in the west and are worn by older as well as younger women.

Length

Usually the length of a anklet is 9 inches long but some whose ankles are thicker will need a longer one. If you are not too sure about the size, just add an extension chain of about an inch in length.

If you love making jewelry, you should also try making one of these for yourself. They are quite easy to make; much simpler than making bracelets.

Here are a few designs that I have listed here. Just click on the links below and you will be brought to a page of instructions to create them.
