1. 

   Wrap the gold chain around your hips where the belt will sit comfortably.

   Using two flat nose pliers, remove one link to obtain the desired length.

3. 

   Attach one of the jump rings to one end of the chain.

4. 

   Attach the other jump ring to the lobster clasp.

5. 

   Attach the jump ring plus lobster clasp to the other end of the chain.

6.
