Project Ideas Using Traditional Chain Lengths
Here are some tips and tricks to help inspire your creative muse:
Jewelry Making
These chains are ideal for all kinds of jewelry making purposes. Use them to create one of a kind necklaces and earrings. Intermix them with other traditional or contemporary DIY components for a look that is truly unique.
Coin Bras
Use these authentic chains as dramatic belly drape accents on your DIY tribal coin bras. When added to a belly dance bra, the chain will accent abdominal work. They create a delicate sound with some shimmies and flutters. You may also want to check out our DIY Coin Bra Kit and our assortment of coins when gathering the supplies for your project.
Belly Dance Belts
Whether you are building your own tribal belly dance belt from the base up or are just looking to spice up any existing belt you may already have, these chains are fabulous. Dancers enjoy their delicate sound created with each shimmy and twist.
Drape the chain(s) along the bottom edge to show off curves. Tassels, Afghani studded buttons, coins or any of our other great embellishments make great belt accents, too.
When looking for a fully loaded Kuchi pendant belt, you may want to start with one of our pre-made jeweled belts. Simply add the chain fall, as desired. You also may want to check out our textile belts, as they make great bases for these authentic chains.
Belly Dance Headbands
These chains are also wonderful for use in custom headbands. Drape them so that they lay across the forehead for a truly decadent look. You can add other embellishments for truly unique belly dance headband. Another great option for paired headband accents is to use any of our traditional Kuchi earring pairs. You may also like to take any of our traditional textile belts and cut them in half to use as the base for 2 headbands. They are stunning when pinned to turbans and head wraps made out our bandhini wraps.
