  5. With your other hand, use the flat nose pliers to bend open the jump ring. Slip in another jump ring and close the opening of the first to secure. Repeat this process until you have the desired length of your chain.

  11. Slip another focal bead onto a headpin. Trim the excess wire and create a hook* to slip through another small jump ring. It's easiest to secure the loop closed with flat-nose pliers. Attach this toward the top of your chain.

    *Wrap the wire around the tip of the needle-nose pliers to make a loop.

  15. Tip: For sturdiness, you may want double or triple your chain's width with extra jump rings, depending on how many keys you expect to hold.
