Step 1 Open a 6mm jump ring using chain nose pliers. Open the jump ring laterally. Attach a lobster claw clasp and close the jump ring. Repeat to make two.
Step 2 Cut 28" [71 cm] of bead stringing wire. String a 2mm crimp bead to one end, then string the jump ring with clasp. Fold the beading wire and go back through the 2mm crimp tube. Using the crimping pliers tool, place the crimp tube into the slot that is at the back. Crimp the crimp bead to form a U shape. Next, using the front notch in the crimp tool, crimp to fold the U shape closed. Use flush cutters to trim the tail.
Step 3 String beads to desired length. A good length for young children is 19 to 21" [48 - 54 cm].
Step 4 String a crimp tube onto the beading wire at the end of your beads. String the second 6mm jump ring and clasp. Fold the beading wire over and go back through the crimp tube and a few of the beads.
Crimp the crimp tube using the crimp pliers, using the back notch first, forming a U shape with the crimp tube. Next, fold the crimp tube U shape closed using the front notch of the pliers.
Use flush cutters to trim the tail if desired.
Attach each lobster claw to the ear of your face mask.
Just like that you have a fun and useful accessory! Added bonus- recently eyeglass chains have been making a huge comeback. You can wear the chain on your eyeglasses for the next Zoom call (and be very on trend) then transition the chain to your mask while out and about.
This is a good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere. Brief but very accurate information… Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read post!
