2: Two pieces of chain. These should add up with the length of the leather up to make the whole thing around your waist. My chains were approximately 20cm each.

Follow these steps to make your leather and chain waist chain:

1: Add a crimp end to one of the ends of the leather cord. Do this by placing it around the leather and squashing one side down using the flat nose pliers.

2: Squash the other side of the crimp using the flat nose pliers to secure the crimp in place.

3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other side of the piece of leather, attaching the other crimp.

4: Add a jump ring to one end of the piece of leather cord.

5: Slide on one of the pieces of chain to the open jump ring.

6: Close the jump ring to secure the chain to the leather.

7: Repeat steps 4 to 6 to attach the second piece of chain to the other end of the leather.

8: Add a jump ring to one end of the chains you just attached. Slide on the lobster clasp and close the ring to secure it in place. (Sorry about the blurry pic!)

9: Add another jump ring to the other side of the waist chain to finish it off!

Now your leather and chain waist chain is finished and ready to put on! How cute?!
