Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This necklace measures 30 inches long. For a necklace that is shorter or longer, simply adjust the chain length.
  1. Begin by cutting two 12 inch lengths of antiqued brass chain using your flush cutters.
  2. Next, using your chain nose pliers, open an antiqued brass jump ring and slide on the last link from one end of your chain length. Also slide on the loop from your antiqued brass lobster clasp and close.
  3. Open up another jump ring and slide it onto the last link on the opposite side of that same chain length. Also slide on the last link from one side of your charm chain and close.
  4. Open another jump ring and slide it onto the last link from the other side of your chain charm. Also slide on the last link from one side of your antiqued brass chain and close.
  5. Open up another jump ring and slide on the last link from the other side of your second chain length and close. The chain portion of your necklace is done. You will now begin adding on coin charms in a scattered pattern, equidistant from one another. Remember that your coin charms are double sided, some with 2 different images. Feel free to use either side.
  6. Using your chain nose pliers and via jump rings, add on your 9 coins onto the charm chain portion of your necklace. Scatter them through out. See photo for reference.
  7. All done!
