Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Begin by closing four of your small rings. The rest of your rings will need to be opened. You can do that now or as you go along. |
|
Step 2: Scoop up the four small rings with one large ring. Close the large ring. |
|
Step 3: Thread a second large ring through the same path. Close the large ring. |
|
Step 4: Thread another large ring between the middle of the previous two large rings, encircling the two small rings. Close the ring. |
|
Step 5: Thread another large ring through the middle of the previous two small rings you encircled in step 4. Close the ring. |
|
Step 6: Flip your piece over and repeat step 5 on the backside. |
|
Step 7: Thread a small ring through the two large rings that were just added. Close the ring. Repeat with another small ring. |
|
Step 8: Repeat steps 4 through 7 until you have the length of chain you desire. |
|
Step 9: Thread a small ring through the last pair of small rings and before closing add one end of your clasp. |
|
Step 10: On the other end of your piece, again thread a small ring through the end pair of small rings and before closing, add the other end of your clasp. Enjoy your newly made Helm Bracelet! |
