Take an eye pin and thread up with:

- a plain metal ball
- a size 5/0 glass seed bead
- a plain metal ball

Leaving a space of 10mm, cut the excess off the eye pin. Twirl the end using your twirly wirlies. Repeat with 8 of the glass seed beads (so that you have 7altogether). Put aside.

Pick up on of the headpins and thread up with:

- a plain metal ball
- a size 5/0 glass seed bead
- a plain metal ball

Leaving a space of 10mm, cut the excess off the eye pin. Twirl the end using your twirly wirlies. Repeat with 7 of the glass seed beads (so that you have 8 altogether). Put aside.

Pick up on of the headpins and thread up with:

- a plain metal ball
- a larger glass bead
- a plain metal ball

Leaving a space of 10mm, cut the excess off the eye pin. Twirl the end using your twirly wirlies. Repeat with the rest of the larger glass beads (so that you have 8 altogether). Put aside.

Open up one of the jump rings (as they are quite strong, you will need to use 2 sets of pliers, your crimping pliers and twirly wirlies will be fine) and thread onto it:

- one of the eye pins
- one of the seed bead head pins
- one of the larger bead head pins
- another seed bead eye pin

Close the ring securely. Open up another jump ring and thread it through the other end of one of the seed bead eye pins from your first set. Then thread on

- a seed bead head pin
- a larger bead head pin (opposite colour from the first one)
- another seed bead eye pin

Close securely. Repeat this process until you have used up all your pieces. On both ends you should finish with a seed bead eye pin.

Open up one of the jump rings and thread on the parrot clasp. Thread through one of the eye pin loops on the end of your chain bracelet. Close the jump ring securely. To create a small adjustable chain on the other end, open up another jump ring and thread onto the other end of your chain bracelet and close securely. Repeat until you have about 3 or 4 jurmp rings on the end of your bracelet.
