Instructions
Step 1
Attach two 6mm jump rings to the loop of one red scale component. Pass one 6mm jump ring though one fold-over clasp and the previous set of jump rings then close, ensuring the front of the clasp is facing the same direction as the front (convex side) of the scale.
Step 2
Place another red scale component over the back (concave side) of the previous scale. Pass one 8mm jump ring through the loop on the each scale then close. Position the jump ring to one side of the scales then attach a second jump ring on the opposite side. Repeat to connect a set of two silver scales.
Continue to alternate connecting sets of red and silver scales to the desired length.
Step 3
Attach one 6mm jump ring to connect the last two 8mm jump rings on the back of the last scale.
Use one 6mm jump ring to attach one 8mm jump ring to the previous 6mm jump ring.
