Learn how to make a Bead Link Station Chain Necklace with Open Loops…
Learn to make open loop bead links the easy way!
These are fabulous necklaces for stacking. And when you make them yourself you can totally customize the length and the bead links. You can make a bunch and wear them together for a killer layered look or change them out to complement your outfit of the day.
The secret to success with your links is having a chart to follow for consistent results …
This is the 14th project in a series of 15 guiding you through the process of using measuring charts and solid forming skills to craft consistent components with ease.
If you’ve tried making “simple” loops before, you know they aren’t quite as easy as the name implies. It seems elusive to get all the loops to match while avoiding gaps between the beads and the loops. But once you know how to get consistent results when forming your loops, it doesn’t take long to make these links perfect every time.
