Step 1

Once you have measured your chain, cut it to the length that you want. Then, use jump rings to attach the toggle clasp at both ends of the chain.

Step 2

This is the fun part! Attach charms and light bulb buttons on every 3 spaces. That means you attach the charm on the third count. Follow the sequence: light bulb, charm, light bulb, repeat and so on.

Done! Let's move on to the bonus tutorial.
