- Ring & Cable Chain (10")
- Hammered Oval Link Chain (5")
- 3mm Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasp (1)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut small pieces of chain and attach them to the chevron focal with a jump rings. The lengths I used range from .5" to 1.5", with the longer pieces in the middle of the focal. |
|
Step 2: Attach a 2" piece of the ring chain to both sides of the chevron focal. Next, attach a 2" piece of the bead chain to the ring chain, and then another 3" piece of ring chain onto the bead chain. |
|
Step 3: Attach the mini spike charms to the ring chain with jump rings. Finish with a lobster clasp & jump ring. |

dolllady aka Pam says:This is a very Southwest look. It is so pretty and can be made even more Southwestern with turquois and coral beads and feathers instead of spikes.
