How to make

You attach the chunky chain directly to the keychain, you can bend open the links of the chain using 2 pliers. Then you determine the length of your bag charm and take off the remaining chain.

Then you can attach your charms in the desired place with jumprings.

Bow:

You start by cutting a piece of steel beading wire, about 20 cm. Then you pinch the crimp bead on it, and then put a crimp bead cover over it. Then you start threading the first 5 beads + the gold spacer bead. Then another 13 beads, then you go through the spacer bead again with the steel wire so you make a loop. Then thread another 13 beads and go through the spacer bead again to make a loop, and for the last piece thread 8 beads. Then you pinch a crimp bead on the wire against the last bead, and hide it again with a pinch bead cover. Finally, cut the remaining steel beading wire and you're done!

Tips:

- Use a beading board or mat to place your beads on while you work so they don't roll away.
