Steps

  1. On a 2” eyepin, string on letter beads to spell desired word. On the other end of the eyepin, carefully bend the wire over at a right angle. Trim the wire to 3/8”. Form a simple loop.
  2. Use the flush cutters to cut 6” of the chain. Use a 4mm jump ring to attach one end of the 6” chain to the loop next to the first letter bead on the word link.
  3. On the other end of the 6” chain, attach a 6mm jump ring.
  4. On the remaining 11” chain, use a 4mm jump ring to attach one end to the loop next to the last letter bead on the word link.
  5. On the other end of the long chain, attach the lobster clasp using a 6mm jump ring.
  6. Use the remaining 6mm jump ring to attach the Bone charm onto the chain.
