Step Three - Weaving the Links:
For this step you will need:
Patience, pliers (optional), clasp of your choice (I like toggle), and 4 sterling silver jumprings to attach the clasp, tumbler (optional).
Start with two links. With your fingers, open one end of one of the links so it resembles an alligator mouth or pac-man. This is where a little imagination and patients is helpful!
Slide the open alligator mouth into the other link. Pinch the mouth closed. If you so choose, you may also use your pliers to pinch it closed.
Do this with all the links until you have made your desired length.
Attach a clasp using two jumprings on each end.
Tumble with stainless steel shot and burnishing solution for two hours.
Rinse bracelet/necklace in clean water, dry with a lint-free cloth. ENJOY!
