Soldered Beeper Chain


I’ve already posted a few soldered chain designs on this site. Some of the supplies you’ll need to make a soldered beeper chain include:

wire (16 or 14 gage)
solder setup
lanyard
alligator clip

Figure 8 Jump Ring Chain
Spanish Style Chain
Two Tone Wrap Chain

You could use one of these designs, or a favorite you have, and simply add an alligator clip to one side and lanyard to the other. The completed chain should be about 8 inches long. Just as with the wrapped chain, consider using copper wire. Sterling wire would also look nice, but make sure you use a large gage such as 16 or 14 gage.
