How to make a necklace using chain

In this video I will narrate how to make a necklace using chain. The picture quality is not very good for 2 reasons. The first reason is the video size - I edit purely for uploading - before the size editing the first video is 44.6MB. Big. After the size editing it's 2.88MB, much more comfortable. The second reason is because of the lighting. You can't tell the colors of anything and I apologize. I dunno if it would have turned out better in daylight or not, but the next time - I will surely give that a shot.

Please disregard my chipped & faded nail polish. I neglect my nails when I'm at home just doing home stuff. Usually, I take it off, but I didn't this time *sigh*. And please don't mind my chaotic desk - it's organized. ♥

At some points during the second video my kids are talking louder than I think I am. That's kiddos for you. No matter how many times you tell them you're doing something & recording, they just don't seem to hear.

This last video isn't a how to, just wanted to show the earrings & the link used to create them. I also used the link in the necklace. I didn't mention the earrings use a headpin for the last bead. ♥

I did try to describe the Wonder beads twice cause they really are hard to tell about. I also didn't mention (I don't think) that I used eye pins, just like the ones I used to make the Simple Earrings. Eyepins are common to use making a necklace with chain. I hope these videos give you insight into making a necklace using chain. In this instance, I did use a twisted cable that has larger links. When I use the 3.2mm, 2.5mm or 2mm chain, I cut the links cause they are just too tiny to separate. One day I will show you all that, too. I will post another video tomorrow on how to make a bracelet using nylon coated wire with crimp beads, wire guards & crimp bead covers.
