A Link Bracelet
[Fig. 51] is a link bracelet. Make this by folding a strip of paper eight inches long crosswise through the middle. Bring the folded end half way down and fold, turn back the other end and fold like a fan. This divides the paper into six equal parts. Now cut out the outer edge of all the links at once. Free the two end links and cut out the centres of the others, then cut the centres of the two links, as shown in [Fig. 51], making the catch and slit like the pattern.

Fig. 52—Slip one link through another.
The links of the long chain shown in the photograph of "The queen and her captive," are cut exactly like the bangle bracelet ([Fig. 49]). The slits and charms are, of course, omitted. [Fig. 52] shows how the chain is put together by slipping one link through another and fastening it with its catch. You can make the chain any length. It is so strong that only rough handling will pull it apart.
