Barefoot or Bottomless Sandals

1. First, cut pieces of chain in the following lengths:

3 inch (3 pieces)
2 inch (3 pieces)
1 1/2 inch (2 pieces)
1 3/4 inch (2 pieces)
4 1/2 inch (2 pieces)

Pictured is a sketch I drew that shows how these 12 pieces of chain are put together using eye pins with the beads and jump rings for areas where more than two pieces of chain must be connected, but continue on and I'll show you how to connect each of the chain sections as well. Once you see how it goes together, you may want to use the sketch as a quick reference for when you make the second sandal.
