Instructions to complete “Chain Me Up” bracelet:
Step 1
Cut the chain into five 7-inch lengths (see Cutting Chain Efficiently Technique).
Tips
In the following steps, imagine that the loops on the 3-strand tube bar clasp are numbered from 1 – 3. Five chain lengths will be attached to the loops on one side of the clasp with jump rings – two chain lengths each on loops 1 and 3, and one (middle) chain length on loop 2. Imagine that the chain lengths are numbered from 1 – 5. Links of the chain alternating with beads will be threaded onto head pins.
Step 2
Open one jump ring (see Opening and Closing a Jump Ring Technique). Use the jump ring to attach one end link of each of two chain lengths to loop 1 on one side of the tube bar clasp. Close the jump ring.
Step 3
Repeat Step 2 with loop 3 on the same side of the tube bar clasp.
Step 4
In the same manner as in Steps 2 – 3, use one jump ring to attach one end link of one chain length to loop 2 on the same side of the tube bar clasp.
Step 5
String the following onto one eye pin:
1 – glass bead
Link 5 of chain length 1
1 – glass bead
Link 5 of chain length 2
1 – glass bead
Link 5 of chain length 3
1 – glass bead
Link 5 of chain length 4
1 – glass bead
Link 5 of chain length 5
1 – glass bead
Step 6
Turn a simple loop (see Simple Loop Technique) at the open end of the eye pin.
Step 7
Skip three chain links in all five strands. Then repeat Steps 5 – 6.
Step 8
Repeat Step 7 12 times.
Step 9
In the same manner as in Step 2 – 4, use jump rings to attach the unattached end chain links to the corresponding loops on the second side of the clasp. Two chains each will be attached to loops 1 and 3, and the middle chain to loop 2.
