Step 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hold your chain<\/a> in one hand and use your chain nose<\/a> or flat nose<\/a> pliers in your other hand to gently squeeze the end jump ring<\/a> loop on the chain until it is oval shaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end loop needs to be made oval so that it will fit easily through the Silver bail beads. Try not to completely squish the loop as you still need it to attach your bolt ring clasp too.<\/p>\n\n\n

When you have threaded all 10 of the beads onto the chain, fasten the chain.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grip one side of the jump ring<\/a> with chain nose pliers and the other with snipe nose pliers<\/a>. Next, gently twist the pliers in opposite directions to open the jump ring.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step 6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thread two sparkle jump rings<\/a> onto the open jump ring ensuring the jump ring is also still threaded through the bead loop.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step 7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grip one side of the jump ring with chain nose pliers and the other with snipe nose pliers. Then, gently twist the pliers in opposite directions to open the jump ring. Repeat this until you have attached all 20 sparkle jump rings to the 10 Silver beads.<\/p>\n\n\n
