1. Begin by watching the video: How to Use the BeadSmith Two-Hole Metal Punch. Using what you have learned in the video, make three 1.5mm holes in your round silver stamping pendant directly across from the pre-existing hole. Space your holes approximately 1/8 to 1/2 inch apart and about 1/16th inch in from the edge of the pendant. You may want to use a marking pen and ruler to help you with these measurements.
2. To hang your acetate bars: Use pliers to open a 5mm jump ring and slide on the loop of one of your bars. Also slide on one of the holes you made in the round silver pendant from step 1. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step twice more to hang your other two acetate bars.
3. Now use flush cutters to cut 3 inches of 22 gauge wire and make a wrapped wire loop. Before coiling the wrap closed, slide on the top (pre-existing) hole of your silver stamping pendant. Also slide on the holes of your gold stamping pendant and your acetate coin. Close the wrap.
4. Next, cut 30 inches of bar chain.
5. Using the remainder of your 22 gauge wire, make another wrapped wire loop above the wrap you made in step 3, with the loop facing forward. Before coiling wrap closed, slide on the end links of your 30 inches of bar chain. Close the wrap. All done!
