    Absolutely genius! The one I made that looks like this is much more fiddle, thus sloppy looking! 🥂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Oh I love this! I was doing this link another way but this seems more secure in their construction

    This is another beautiful and easy chain to make, I just made 2 of them and I love them! I love using copper wire, it’s so pretty but my granddaughter’s doesn’t like it, they like gold and since I can’t afford gold and I don’t like using any of the filled wires unless it’s for me cause I just can’t be gentle with wire and I have nicks and scratches on all my wire jewelry it’s easiest for me to file and put stuff in my tumbler and it all comes out so beautiful, I have been using red brass wire and they love it, it looks so much like gold and it’s also as stiff as half hard copper which is really nice. Thank you so much for sharing another beauty ❤
