Instructions
Step 1
Close two 12mm jump rings.
Connect the two jump rings using a paper clip or wire.
Tip: The paper clip or length of wire allows you to hold the beginning chain while it is short.
Step 2
Pass one 12mm jump ring through the two previous 12mm jump rings then close.
Repeat to create a double jump ring.
Step 3
Pass one 12mm jump ring through the previous double jump rings then close.
Repeat to create a double jump ring.
Step 4
Flip both 12mm jump rings from Step 3 so that they lay flat against the jump rings from Steps 1 and 2.
Step 5
Separate the two jump rings from Step 2 then pass one 12mm jump ring through the jump rings from Step 3.
Repeat to create double jump rings.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 1 - 5 to continue to add length to the chain until you've reached the desired length.
Step 7
For the last set of jump rings: pass one 12mm jump ring through one more jump ring and the previous set of jump rings then close. Repeat to attach a second jump ring.
Use double 7mm jump rings to attach a lobster claw clasp to the opposite end of the bracelet.
