I guess the only thing I could add is I always have my caps first and draw my chain down to bit properly. Or remember you can use a pencil, or chop stick, something to
add a bit of size to the ends also.

Do check out our mandrels for making your own caps.
All info on the web site if you haven't seen them already.

Thanks Jeannie. I'm still having problems finishing the chain and how to bring up all the loops together and then put the finishing wire on it. I've made my own caps by the coiling method but haven't tried making end caps yet. I bought some but again, it's figuring out how to tie it off or whatever and then slip it through. I need to look at the tutorial bought to see how she did it but mostly, she makes her own coils.
I'll share when I actually finish one!!
