How to make a custom charm necklace

Instructions:

If you need to make your own chain follow these steps.

Step 1: Since I like chains on the longer side, I used my jewelry cutters I cut the chain 18″ long.

Step 2: With the help of my flat nose pliers, I opened the two jump rings.

To attach the jump rings, I inserted the opened end of one of the jump rings onto the chain and closed it with the pliers.

I placed the opened end of the other jump ring onto the other end of the chain.

Then I looped on the end of the lobster clasp.

I used my flat nose pliers to close the jump ring.

Now you have a chain! Time to follow these steps.

Step 3: Proceed by adding charms to your chain!

If the end of the charms are large enough, you can just slide them on from the end of the chain.

If not, use flat nose pliers to open the jump rings that are attached to the charms and insert the chain and proceed to close the jump rings with pliers.
