Tools:

Step 1:Decide where you want the necklace to fall and measure out the chain. Mine is about 22 inches. To cut your chain to size, simply grab a link and bend it open to separate the chain you want from the chain that will leftover. Throw away the bent link.
Step 2:
To create your pendant, attach the three beads together with 2 medium jump rings. On the top bead of the pendant, attach a medium/large jump ring. This top jump ring will attach your pendant to the chain. Place one chain end through the top jump ring.
Step 3:
Attach your lobster clasp to one end of the chain with the small jump ring.
Step 4:
Attach a medium sized jump ring to the other end of the chain.
You have completed your necklace!
