Box Chain is great for making necklaces, bracelets, even badge holders for the workplace. The hardest part about it is only the beginning and the connecting of ends.
First: you need one open ring and four closed ones connecting them together and closing the open link.
Second: another open link needs to be linked to the four others, as shown.
Third: Arrange the links as shown here in this picture.
Fourth: Turn it 90 degrees and open up the rings on this side
Fifth: Add a ring here, making sure that it goes through all four of the rings.
Sixth:Add another ring right along side of the other.
Seventh: Turn it back 90 degrees again and it should look like this.
Eighth: Angle the top two rings
Ninth: Open up the bottom two links.
Tenth: add two additional rings as shown.
Eleventh: Turn 90 degrees once again and add a ring going through 4 rings once again.
Twelth: You then put another ring on the other side and turn 90 degrees and go to step 10.
