Directions:
Step 1. Using Memory Wire Cutters, cut a piece of Chain that measures approximately 8 inches long. It should contain 38 links.
Step 2. Onto each of 5 Head Pins, place a Crystal and a Daisy Bead Cap.
Step 3. Using a Side Cutter cut off the excess of each Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16". For each Head Pin, using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using Round Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire from each Head Pin into a loop and close tightly. Set aside.
Step 4. Twist open a Jump Ring and put it through the loop of the Vintage Key Charm and the 2nd link of your piece of Chain. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 5. Count down 4 more links on your Chain, so you will be on the 6th link. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert this link of the Chain and the loop from one of your beaded Head Pins (from Step 2). Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 6. Count down 4 more links and, using a Jump Ring (as you have in the previous 2 steps), attach the Vintage Scroll Heart Charm.
Step 7. Count down 4 more links and, using a Jump Ring, attach another one of your Head Pins.
Step 8. Count down 4 more links and, using a Jump Ring, attach the “Dream” Charm.
Step 9. Repeat Step 7.
Step 10. Repeat Step 8, using the Star Charm.
Step 11. Repeat Step 7.
Step 12. Repeat Step 8, using the Heart Locket Charm.
Step 13. Repeat Step 7 (this Head Pin should hang from the last link of the Chain)
Step 14. Twist open the last link of the Chain and insert the loop from a Lobster Clasp. Twist the link of Chain closed.
Enjoy!
