Instructions
- Cut chain to desired length.
- Attach gold lobster clasp to loose ends of chain with gold jump rings.
- Slide a bead from each strand through the head pins and make a loop at the top. If you want to add an extra element of wire-wrapped detail, make a loop above the bead and wrap the extra wire around the base of the loop as pictured.
- Attach each metal charm pictured to a jump ring.
- Attach all charms to the center of chain as pictured or as desired. Attaching the jump rings through links in the chain will keep them separated as you wear the necklace. Attaching the jump rings around the chain will allow them to fall together in a cluster as you wear the necklace.
