Align shapes in row and use pencil to mark holes on inside edges of shapes; punch holes through marks. Attach jump rings through holes linking shapes together. Attach 5” chain length to jump ring and jump ring through hole on top corner of left shape. Repeat process for right side using other 5” chain length. Attach clasp ends with jump rings on each end of chain length.
