To begin, tighten and completely close 4 of the small jump rings. Twist the ring ends sideways past each other slightly if they aren't lining up.
Next, open the rest of the jump rings by twisting the ends past each other while holding with 2 pairs of pliers. Never pull the ends away from each other, this will distort the circular shape of the ring and make it difficult to return to its previous form.
With one opened small ring, pick up two of the closed small rings. Twist the open ring closed completely, being careful there are no gaps between wire ends.
Attach another ring to the end of the chain and twist closed. Add one final ring to the end of the chain, and attach an ear wire.

Add a seed bead to each large jump ring. Close one beaded ring on the bottom link of the chain, and two on each link moving up, on opposite sides of the chain as pictured.
Note: It's definitely easier to attach the beaded rings from the bottom up, not starting at the top as pictured here. This just makes it easier to see how to attach the rings to either side of the chain.
