Once you have some figure 8 rings made, you can start connecting your unsoldered, round jump rings around the figure 8 rings. Then solder the round jump rings.
Connect, solder, connect, solder, until you have the chain the length that you want. See what I mean about great soldering practice?
If you want, you could make a continuous chain so that it can just be pulled over your head. However, you can also make a simple hook and eye clasp to finish your chain.
