WigJig Jewelry Project Pg 01 Made with WigJig Beads, Jewelry Tools, Wire and Supplies

Step 1: Cut a segment of commercial chain 1 3/4 inches long.

Step 2: Thread a 4mm bead, then the large bead and another 4mm bead on a head-pin. Attach this bead dangle to the end of the chain using a wrapped link.

Step 3: Connect the opposite end of the chain to the key ring with a wrapped bead link using a 4mm bead.

Now you only need to worry about where you park the Porsche.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the wrapped link used in the bead dangle or wrapped bead link, our online book, "Wire Design Basics" describes these techniques in detail. You can find this online book here.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Household Designs. We try to provide interesting projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies. We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project. Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques have not been discussed here. For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown.

Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store. We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
