Follow these steps to make your wrist strap:

1: Open the jump rings on the chain to remove the clasp.

2: Attach the ends of the chains together using the jump rings.

3: Fold the string in half and thread it through one of the jump rings.

4: Tie a knot in the string, leaving a loop on one side.

5: Wind the end of the threads through the jump rings and tie an extra few knots to secure the string to the chain.

6: Trim the excess string.

7: Add a dab of superglue to the end of the string to secure it and stop the knot from unraveling.

Now your wrist strap chain is finished! I added mine to my film camera because I’m a super cool hipster 😉
