The chain used in this project is quite bulky. Make sure you use wire shears or strong wire cutters to cut the chain. Attempting to cut the chain with jewelry flush cutters may damage your flush cutters.
- Begin by using a pair of wire shears to cut a 7" length of antique brass large round rolo chain.
- Next, use a pair of chain nose pliers to open the jump ring that attaches the antique copper plated pocket watch pendant to the chain it comes with. We won't be using this chain or the jump ring for this project.
- Find the middle link on your length of rolo chain. Use a 7 mm, 18 gauge antique brass plated jump ring to hang the pocket watch pendant from the middle link on the rolo chain.
- Skip four links in the rolo chain to the right and use a 6 mm, 18 gauge antique brass plated jump ring to hang an antique brass flower charm. Skipping four links between each charm, use 6 mm jump rings to hang the rest of the charms according to the order shown in the photos, or however you'd like.
- Use a 6 mm jump ring to attach one side of a brass oxide pewter heirloom toggle clasp to one end of the rolo chain. Then use another 6 mm jump ring to attach the other side of the clasp to the other end of the rolo chain.
