Directions:
Step 1. Gently twist open a Jump Ring using Flat Pliers, and thread the Ribbon Charm onto it. Insert open Jump Ring through one end of the Oval Link and twist closed.
Step 2. Cut the desired amount of Chain with Side Cutters: 3 feet will hang to about the belly button of an average-sized person. Ensure that only ovals are on both ends of Chain; discard any “figure eights.” Open a Jump Ring and thread one end of the Chain onto it, then insert open Jump Ring through the unused end of the Oval Link. Close.
Step 3. Take an Eye Pin and gently open looped end, threading it through the unused end of Chain. Close. Thread the following onto the Eye Pin: one Heishi, one Crackle Oval, and one Heishi.
Step 4. Using Side Cutters, trim excess Eye Pin, leaving about 3/8” below the Heishi. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend Eye Pin 90 degrees and carefully form into a tight loop using Round Nose Pliers.
Step 5. Open a Jump Ring and thread the Goddess Charm onto it. Thread open Jump Ring through the loop you just formed on the Eye Pin and close.
Step 6. Take a Head Pin and thread a Pink Round onto it. Trim Head Pin, leaving approximately 3/8”, and form a tight loop without closing. Thread loop through the oval link of Chain above the Heishi. Close loop.
Step 7. Repeat Step 6 on the same loop with three Coins, two more Rounds, and three Head Pins that have been strung with two Pony Beads separated by a Heishi. Cluster all of these on the same oval loop.
Step 8. Repeat this cluster on the next oval loop. Add a few beads to the “figure eight” in between if desired.
To wear, thread the clustered end through the Oval Link and adjust to desired length.
