Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Using a jump ring, attach the smaller coin focal to the larger one. |
|
Step 2: Attach a bezel link to the coin focals. I attached a few different types of chain, bead chain & bead links I made w/ Czech glass & crystal beads to the bezel link. You can make it as long or short as you'd like- mine is 5" long. |
|
Step 3: At the ends of the chain, attach another bezel link. Attach an 8" piece of chain (or whichever length you choose) to the bezel links. |
|
Step 4: Finish by adding charms anywhere along the necklace. |
