How to Make Chains for Eyeglasses

1

Cut a piece of bead-stringing wire measuring 32 inches.
2

Thread wire through a crimp bead and a jump ring.
3

Loop wire through the same crimp bead again. Make sure the two wires are not crossed.
4

Close the crimp bead by placing the bead on the groove closest to you on the crimping pliers. Squeeze the pliers. Then place the crimp on the groove farthest from you. Squeeze the pliers again.
5

String wire through one bead. Be sure the crimping tail fits through the bead as well. Cut the tail.
6

String the rest of the beads through the wire. Once you get close to the end, be sure to leave 2 inches.
7

Repeat steps 3 and 4.
8

Thread the crimping tail through one bead. Cut the tail.
9

Cover the crimp beads with a bead cap. Squeeze the bead cap with pliers to secure.
10

Connect the eyeglass holder with the jump rings by slipping the rubber part of the holder through the ring.
