Method use skull caps: 35mm, Cenfill coated stainless steel wire, Cut the desired length of wire / wires. Put a crimp bead on the wire end, or several wire ends together. Thread a skullcap over the wire / wires; the squeeze bead falls in the hole of the skullcap Thread the jewelry according to the pattern Finish with a skullcap over the wire / threads, followed by a squeeze bead Place the jewelry in the round shape as it falls around the neck or the wrist Slide the skullcap and fasten the crimp bead in it to the wire / wires Check whether the crimp beads are properly pinched Cut the remaining wires at least 1mm above the crimp bead Put a drop of glue in the skullcaps and bend the half balls towards each other Hook the clasp on the hooks and bend it neatly round How to start: Cut a piece of steel wire of about 50 to 55 centimeters with a pair of nippers. The average length of a short chain is 43-45 cm. If you are making a chain for someone you know, measure the neck size to make the chain 'to size' Start with a skullcap around the end of the basting thread and then slide a pinch bead on it to about 2 mm from the end Pinch it with flat nose pliers (smooth pliers, no ribs If you don't have smooth pliers, you can also place adhesive tape around the jaws (both sides) of the pliers, this will give you the same effect.Then take the piece of wire of 2 mm with the flat pliers and bend it over the squeeze bead Then slide the cap over it and gently squeeze it with the flat nose pliers.In this last part it is also possible to make an extra loop with the wire through the squeeze bead and then pinch it closed (the excess wire can be cut Then slide the skullcap over and gently squeeze it with the flat nose pliers Sometimes it works easier to first press the skullcap a little shut with your thumb and finger and finally use the pliers to close the skullcap properly. threading the chain, Thread the beads onto the steel wire in the order of your design. When you have threaded all the beads, put a skullcap at the end and then another squeeze bead Make sure that all beads Connect so that you don't have any space Squeeze the squeeze bead, cut the wire and make sure that 2 mm is left That piece, just like at the beginning of the chain, bend over the squeeze bead and then slide the cap over the squeeze bead and press it closed At this last part it is again possible to make an extra loop with the thread through the squeeze bead and then squeeze it closed (the excess thread can be cut) Then slide the cap over and squeeze it gently close with the flat nose pliers The finish, Attach a bend ring to the skullcap at one end of the chain and attach the clasp to it.If the skullcap has an open eye, as in the photo, you can use a round nose pliers to close the eye bend something closed Only when the eye is almost closed close completely with the flat nose pliers This keeps the eye nice and round Attach it to the bending ring with two flat nose pliers with which you can an open front to back Do not bend from left to right because they then lose their round shape and no longer close nicely The same applies to closing the rings Bend towards each other with two pliers At the other end you can also place a bending ring to chain can be attached with the lobster clasp.You can also use a closed ring, possibly of a slightly larger size.This makes attaching the chain a bit easier.
