Materials Needed

  • Five packages of 12mm Silver Plated Jump rings F14-3593FN
  • Sterling Silver clasp F14-8022FN
  • Two pair Beadalon Chain Nose Pliers

Instructions

1. Open each jump ring in one package.

2. Make a 2x2x2 chain.

3. Add a single jumpring to a set of two jumprings on one end; this will be the end you attach to your clasp later, and will be considered the ‘bottom’ of the chain. Flip the top set of jumprings down, one to each side.

4. Separate the second set of jump rings, making sure the top set stays separated. This should create a “flower” type formation, exposing the bottom curve of the top set of jump rings (the ones you flipped in Step 3).

5. Pick up an open jumpring from Step 1 and “scoop” up the bottom curved part of the top set of jump rings. Close the jump ring. Add a second jumpring next to the first and close.

6. Attach 2 more jump rings to the new set of jumprings and repeat Steps 4 and 5.

7. Repeat Step 4 and 5 until the design is the desired length.

8. Attach a clasp at the bottom end.
