Take the chains and cut 15 lengths for each color. From the shortest silver to the longest black ones, the lengths are about 4cm, 7cm, 10cm and 13cm. Orderly string one end of all chain strands by using an idle copper wire to prevent them from getting messed up.

2nd, pass the starting 5cm of wire through the bead;
