  Snip a piece of chain and attach two ends to antenna with jump rings.

  Tada, the unique handmade jewelry designs tutorial is done. This handcrafted pendant, I think, is more valuable than those for sale, because it is one of a kind, designed and made only by you. What a great way to cherish childhood memories!
