Hi, this is Julie with beadaholique.com and arrow one millimeter Rolo chain you can see it comes in different metal finishes to this lovely dagger dangle charm chain a skull chain these are little seven millimeter skulls and I actually want to just cut one of these off here for a minute so charm chain is great because there's a center chain core with all these little dangles on top of it so if you cut that Center core you'll be able to pop off the dangles and you can use them for other projects you see what that little seven millimeter skull looks like we have this bobble chain now this is a round cluster bobble chain again I just want to go ahead and cut off a couple of these just so you can see what it looks like it's very easy just cut that Center cord these are four millimeters so I think that would be wonderful at the end of perhaps a necklace extender or an earring great little little bauble it's perfect for that this is one of my favorite new chains this is a triangle pennant chain and I think this would look great just as a necklace by itself it really doesn't need anything more than a simple clasp we have this round coin one I think this looks like a great little circle chain and you see it does come in a couple different finishes as well and lots and lots of these little circle medallions on this chain here is a round sequin link chain again you can cut this wherever you like and you can use these for a variety of projects whether you use a whole length of them or just a little bit of an accent and then over here we have these triangle dangles you just see how these move I love it just so much fun and there's a whole bunch of these little triangles hanging off that Center core chain again in the variety of metal finishes now I have a couple projects here I'm going to show you how to do one of them because really both of these designs can be done with any of these charm chains so here I have the little matte black skull chain and I've just put a little magnetic clasp on it and some Swarovski crystals and pearls you'll see how this looks on so you could do that with any of these chains that same technique you see how that would look it's a really simple quick piece of jewelry but looks like you put a lot of effort into it you can also make earrings so here's this triangle dangle chain it's really fun has a lot of movement to it and this is really simple to make as well so to make an earring like this you're just going to need a couple inches of the chain so here I've got the triangle dangle chain and the way you can measure it if it make sure you have them the same length is by Counting the center chain links so I've got one two three four five six seven eight nine and ten so I'll go over here and I'll do the same I'll count one two three four five six seven eight nine and ten and on the eleventh one that's where I'm just gonna cut just to separate it out and you see a couple of these little links fall off you can use them for something else and then to make my dangle I have this röszke crystal round bead and Scarlet - got a few of my basic tools here I have a pair of wire looping pliers and make myself a little loop and I'm going to actually attach this directly to the charm chain so I'm just gonna find that end link slip it on make sure it sits within the loop come back with my wire or with my chain nose pliers make a couple quick little wraps trim off the excess and to make it look nice and finished and not Scratchy and go back and tuck in my tail and then up here at the top I'm gonna again find that center core chain-link and then open the loop at the base of my earring hook the same way I'd open a jump ring and just slip it on again this is a design you can make with pretty much any charm chain really simple design quick and easy but very fun and a great way of using just a couple inches of this really pretty chain so all of these chains here and many more are available at beadaholique and we have a lot of other projects too using them to give you some ideas of what you might do with them thanks for watching if you like this video please do subscribe to our youtube channel thanks so much you
