1. Please watch the video: How to Punch Holes in Acetate Using the BeadSmith Two-Hole Metal Punch Tool. Using what you have learned in the video, widen the pre-existing hole of your 20mm acetate coin pendant using the 2mm hole size on the tool.
2. Next, punch two more 2mm holes in your coin pendant in a triangular formation across from the pre-existing hole you widened in step 1. Your holes should be approximately 1/2 inch apart, and 1/16th inch in from the edge of your pendant.
3. Use flush cutters to cut two 8.5 inch lengths of chain and one 1 inch length of chain. Set aside.
4. To assemble your necklace: Use pliers to open a 4mm Nunn Design jump ring and slide on the end link of one of your 8.5 inch chains. Also slide on one hole of your coin pendant. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step to attach your other 8.5 inch chain to an adjacent hole of your coin pendant.
5. Now open a Nunn Design jump ring and slide on the end link of the 1 inch chain. Also slide on the hole of the triangle pendant. Close the jump ring.
6. Open another Nunn Design jump ring and slide on the opposite end link of the 1 inch chain you just attached. Also slide on the third hole of your coin pendant. Close the jump ring.
7. To attach your clasp: Open a 4mm jump ring and slide on the end link of one 8.5 inch chain. Also slide on the loop of your lobster clasp. Close the jump ring. Finally, open one more 4mm jump ring and slide on the remaining end link of your other 8.5 inch chain. Close the jump ring. All done!
