Instructions:

  1. Use Soft Flex® Professional Flush Cutters to cut 2.5 inches of wire from the spool. Form a wire wrapped loop that attaches to the first loop of one half of the clasp. String 1 bead and form a wire wrapped loop. Cut off any access wire.

  2. Repeat 12 times, attaching each additional link to previous link. (make sure you add the previous link before you close the loop - I've done this silly thing several times).

  3. Cut 4 inches of wire, form wire wrapped loop (add the previous link), add 2 beads - make loop, wrap twice, then coil wire around the two beads, and wrap at opposite end.

  4. Cut 5 inches of wire, form loop, add 3 beads- make loop, wrap twice, coil around the three beads, wrap at opposite end (cut off any excess wire).

  5. Repeat #3.

  6. Repeat #2.

  7. Last link attach the the other half of clasp.

  8. Go back and cut off any sharp edges that might still be exposed.
