Front Toggle Necklace


Toggle claps add an attractive accent as well as functionality to a necklace or bracelet design. So, why not show them off? In this "Front Toggle Necklace," the toggle works as the focal point of the necklace.

You’ll need:

1 toggle clasp
36 inches chain
10 head pins
10 beads
2 jump ring
wire cutters
round nosed pliers
flat/bent nosed pliers
ruler

1. Slip a bead onto a head pin.

2. Trim off all but about ½ inch of the head pin, and bend the pin into an L.


3. Use round nosed pliers to curl the L into a circle.

4. Use wire cutters to cut off approx. 2 inches of chain.


5. Add the bead in step 3 to the chain just cut.


6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 to create a second bead and chain piece.
