Level: ●●●○

Supplies: 

• one gold necklace chain
• 7 jump rings

Start coloring your chains with paint or spray paint. Make sure to cover both sides.

While your chains dry, take your necklace chain, find the center link, and attach a jump ring to that spot.

Attach one of your colored chains to that jump ring.

Move a few spaces over and continue adding jump rings then a colored  chain to that jump ring.
