DIY Rosary Styled Chain


Supplies: Flat nosed pliers, Round nosed pliers (optional), wire cutters, small beads of choice for chain, wire (preferably 26-30 Gg), pendant of your choice to add for detail. 
String your bead of choice onto the wire.
Using the flat nosed pliers bend the wire to 90 degrees right at the top of the bead. 
Using round nosed or flat nosed pliers to create a circle loop that leaves no gap.
On the other side, bend the wire the same way as before keeping little space for the bead to move around. Cut the wire about 1cm away from the bead with wire cutters. 
Make the same circle as before. Now you have your first link. 
Repeat all of that with a new bead. Except this time before closing the last circle, loop it through a circle of the first link. Once closed you will have two links attached to each other. Continue this until you get to your desired length. 
You can mix up your chain with different beads or keep it the same. You can also add any sort of pendants at the end of it to give it a more authentic rosary style. And it's as easy as that!
