Follow these steps to make your own incredible ladder bracelet:

1: Attach the end of both chains to one of the jump rings and add one side of the toggle clasp. Close the jump ring to secure the ends in place.

2: Repeat step one for the other side of the bracelet adding the other part of the toggle clasp.

3: Once both ends are secure you can move on to the eye pins. Add a bead to each of the eye pins.

4: Bend each of the pins at a right angle to the bead using the round nose pliers.

5: Create a loop using the round nose pliers to secure the beads in place.

6: Find the middle of both the chains. This is where your first pin will be added. Open one of the pin loops and attach the pin to the middle of one of the chains.

7: Close the loop to secure the pin in place.

8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other side of the pin, making sure you line up the middle of the chain again.

9:  Count chain links to determine how far away you want to place your next pin from the one in the middle. Add the second pin in the same way as the first one.

10: Add the remaining pin to the other side of the center pin, counting out the same number of links as you did in step 9. Add the final pin using the same method as the first two.

Once all your beads are in place your bracelet is finished! Wear it out and watch the compliments fly in!
