Instructions
Step 1
Pass one purple jump ring through two more purple jump rings then close. Repeat to add a second purple jump ring, creating a 2-2 chain.
Add two more purple jump rings to the end of the chain, creating a 2-2-2 chain.
Step 2
Flip the two end jump rings down to either side then spread the now outer jump rings apart like bunny ears.
Pass one purple jump ring through the middle jump rings (flipped down) and close. Repeat to add a second jump ring, creating locking jump rings.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 using the two locking jump rings in Step 2 as the base of the 2-2-2 chain. This completes one full segment of Byzantine chainmaille. Set aside.
Tip: For more information, view our ''How to Start a Byzantine Chainmaille Weave'' how-to video.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 - 3 to create a total of 24 segments of Byzantine chainmaille.
Step 5
Connect the end of one segment of chainmaille to two neon yellow silicone components. Repeat to connect two more segments of chainmaille together with two neon yellow silicone components between them to create a ring.
Place two neon orange 15mm components in the center of the chainmaille ring. Pass two blue jump rings through two yellow silicone components and the orange silicone component then close. Repeat to connect blue jump rings at the other two spots where the neon yellow and neon orange components meet.
This completes one full link for the bracelet.
Step 6
Repeat Step 5 to create a total of eight full links.
Step 7
Position two bracelet links side-by-side so that the neon yellow components of both bracelet links line up with the center two jump rings of one Byzantine chainmaille segment.
Pass two blue jump rings through the neon yellow components and the center two jump rings of the chainmaille segment then close.
Step 8
Repeat Step 7 to connect each of the links together, forming the complete bracelet.
