We used a short length of chain for the demonstration, but you can make yours as long as you want! Once you get comfortable using Rhinestone Cup Chain Ends, you can make any number of beautiful, elaborate designs very easily!

Take your pliers and gently press down on the metal prong on one side of the chain end. You may have to try this a few times until you discover the right angle and amount of force to use.

Do the same with the prong on the other side of the chain end so that both prongs are bent, holding the Rhinestone Chain securely.
