5: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers to cut my rhinestone Chain to length and my flat nose pliers to squash the crimps.

Follow these steps to make your rhinestone shoe chain:
1: Place one of the crimps at one end of the rhinestone chain.
2: Squash one side of the crimp around two of the rhinestone links using the flat nose pliers.
3: Repeat for the other side, squashing the top of the crimp around the rhinestone chain. You can also squeeze from either side to get the crimp to grip even more.
4: Repeat step 3 for the other end of the rhinestone chain.
5: Add an open jump ring to one of the crimp ends.
6: Add a clasp to one of the open jump rings and close it using your pliers to secure the clasp in place.
7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other end of the chain.
Once your clasps are secured, your sparkly Rhinestone Shoe Chain is finished and ready to clip onto your fave pair of shoes. Here’s mine on a pair of converse!
