  Step 1

  Cut your 5mm curb chain into two 5 inch pieces.

  Take one piece of your 5-inch curb chain, and using your flat nose pliers, attach one end to your lobster clasp and the other end to your ¾ inch hoop. Repeat the process for the second piece of 5-inch curb chain, attaching to the second ¾ inch hoop and the tab end of your lobster clasp. At the end of this step, your pieces should look like the picture on the left.

  Step 2

  Cut your 2.5mm cable chain into six pieces. You will need two pieces of each length: 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch.

  Make three beaded, looped links using the 22 gauge wire and the 6mm bicone crystals. You can make basic loop-links or wire wrapped, closed links. If you are unsure how to make beaded looped and wire wrapped links, check out the great tutorials at artbeads.com.

  Step 3

  Take your 2-inch pieces of cable chain and with your flat nosed pliers, attach one to each side of a beaded crystal link. Do the same with your 3-inch and 4-inch pieces of cable chain. At the end of this step, your pieces should look like the picture on the left.

  Step 4

  Use your flat nose pliers to attach your shortest linked-chain and one of the ¾ inch hoops from step two using a 5mm jump ring. Attach the other send of the linked-chain to the second hoop using the same method.

  Step 5

  Repeat step 6 with your medium length and longest linked-chains. As you attach the pieces, make sure the longer pieces are attached to the outside – this ensures that the layers hang properly and do not tangle.
