Put the curved tip of a latch-hook tool through the two loops of the folded Oh! Ring.
STEP 3
Slide the folded Oh! Ring onto the shaft and over the latch of the latch-hook tool.
STEP 4
Add the next 12mm Oh! Ring to the curved hook of the latch-hook tool.
STEP 5

Pull the first Oh! Ring over the latch so the latch closes, then pull the second Oh! Ring through the first until second is folded in half.
STEP 6
Slide the second folded Oh! Ring onto the shaft and over the latch of the latch-hook tool.
STEP 7
Continue adding and weaving 12mm Oh! Rings in the color pattern of your choice to the desired length.
STEP 8
Open one 8mm jumpring and pass it through the two loops of the last Oh! Ring added and the first closed jumpring. Close the jumpring.
