Step 5 – Make loop bringing the wire tail back to a right angle.

Step 6 – Slip two ½″ pieces of chain into the loop.

Step 7 – Wrap wire until it meets the base of the bead. Trim wire & tuck end down.

Step 9 – String 4mm beads & chain on wire alternating in this pattern.

Step 11 – String a 4mm bead, a spacer, a 6mm bead and another spacer onto each of the headpins.

Step 12 – Male a loop & attach to the ends of the chain.
