To do this, you need to try on several turns of wire on your hand, adjust their number in the right direction, and then cut the blank from the skein. Next, you should bend one edge of the blank with pliers to make a loop. Then you need to string the beads. This can be done either by alternating different types of beads with a predominance of one of the colors, or in any order. However, since the bracelets are paired, they will look most harmonious if they are assembled in the same way, or combined according to the assembly pattern. For example, you can alternate three beads of one color, one of another, and again three beads of the original color. And on the paired bracelet, repeat the same assembly pattern, but make a different color the main one. After the beads are strung almost to the end of the wire, you need to make a loop at the end, similar to the loop at the beginning of the bracelet.

Having made a sufficient number of blanks in this way, you need to tie the free ends of the threads so that as a result you get a horizontal blank consisting of individual bead threads. After that, you need to fasten a piece of satin ribbon on each side of the blank, each about 10 cm long. The resulting attachment points in the form of knots on both sides should be closed with metal cones, putting them on the ribbon, with the wide side towards the beads, or with beads. All that remains is to tie the ribbons together into a cute bow and the original accessory is ready.

Then the desired number of pendants is made, based on the fact that no more than two pendants can be attached to one cell of the chain. Then the pendants themselves are made. For this, pieces of wire are cut off, the length of which will correspond to the length of the pendant. Moreover, the pendants can be of different lengths. One end of the wire is bent in the form of a small loop, sufficient to fix the beads, after which beads and glass beads are strung on the wire in random order. The resulting pendant is attached to one of the links of the chain by bending the wire, covering its edge in the form of a loop. All other pendants are made and attached in a similar way. After which the decoration can be used, adjusting its length, fastening the carabiner on different links of the chain.
