    First of all,the main piece,I pick this from an old bikini belt,the results are better if the piece is a medium heavy,if you use really heavy piece,it will falls from your shoulder any time.

  2. Small img 1938 1287885192

    Place your chains by weights.

    Pick the heaviest chain,this will be underarm,better if you use a painted or plastic chain (it helps to avoid irritations),just remember it has to be heavy.
