Convertible Multichain Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Tiffany White
Designer Tips
Select 4 to 7 styles of chain in various weights. Chain by the spool is linked below, and all of these chain styles are also available by the foot.
Cut your first segment of chain. Tiffany chose 6.5" to perfectly fit her wrist.
Use this as your length guide for 6 more pieces (1 to 2 pieces of each style).
Use a 4.5mm jump ring to attach the first style to a 9mm link.
After you attach all the segments, you can go back and trim the chain on the other end if any are a bit too long.

One or more parts (or tools) used in this project are no longer available, so we've moved the whole project into the "Misc Jewelry Tutorials with Issues" area while we decide what we want to do about it: find a good sub, re-make this project, or retire the tutorial.
Instructions (continued)
Use 4.5mm jump rings to attach the other ends of the chain segments to another 9mm link. Make sure you keep them in order, so the bracelet doesn't get twisted up!
Attach the 9mm links to your toggle clasp using 2 jump rings side by side for extra strength.
If you want to make this bracelet into a necklace, simply cut a piece of chain to hang it from. Cut the chain about a foot long, and attach a second toggle clasp to the ends.
