Directions
- Cut chain into 14 pieces 9/16" long each.
- Slide a 6mm bead onto an eye pin and turn a loop to match factory end of eye pin. Gently open next eye pin to the side so as not to lose the shape of the loop. Slide open end of eye pin onto your first link, gently close to secure.
- Repeat Step 2. Until you have ten 6mm beads linked together.
- Attach one segment of chain to each end of linked 6mm beads.
- Attach an eye pin to chain at one end, slide on 8mm bead, and turn eye loop and attach another segment of chain to other side of 8mm bead link.
- Repeat steps 2, 3, 4, and 5, to create five segments of ten 6mm beads linked together with chain and four 8mm beads in between, and a segment of chain at each end.
- Now use a jump ring to connect each end of the necklace chain to the 2-to-1 connector piece. Then connect another piece of chain to the single loop of the 2-to 1 connector using a jump ring.
- Then connect an 8mm bead with an eye pin, a segment of chain, three 6mm beads/eye pins, chain, 8mm bead, and then another piece of chain.
- To complete the rosary, use a jump ring to attach the cross.
