Double Chain bracelet DIY

You can make a lot of these wonderful bracelets for your summer jewelry collection!
You will need:
Chain, twice the length of your wrist
3-3.5 yards suede rope or atlas cord (as I used here)
1 lobster clasp
adjustable chain 
2 jump rings 0.7-0.8mm/0.3 diameter
pliers
crochet hook

Thread the cord through the links connecting both ends of the chain and knot.
Take on end of the cord and pass it through the link of one half of the chain, then through other. Continue till the end. Take second past of the cord and make the same thing on opposite direction. So you will have like zig-zag. Repeat until you reach the end of the chain.
When you pass cord through the last link of the chain make a knot. Using crochet hook pass ends of the cord inside bitween cord and chain as shown.
Cut ends about 2cm from the knot. 
Take one jump ring and logster clasp attach them to the one end of the cord. Take other jump ring and adjustable chain and attache them to the second end of the chain.
Your amazing bracelet is ready! You can make a lot using cord of different colors. I made mint, blue and salmon)
