As we discussed in our earlier video about a butterfly, today we're going to learn how
to connect the butterflies to make a chain. The butterflies are basic part of wire working.
When you connect them as a chain, it makes for a really pretty unique necklace, bracelet,
or earrings even. All you have to do is once you have your butterfly made, you'll see that
at the very end you can find either your beginning or your end and just kind of grab it with
your pliers and turn it to the side. You don't want to just open it straight up, or else
you'll ruin your butterfly. You're just going to turn it to the side and connect that with
another butterfly. Then to close it, you'll just grab with your needle nose pliers at
the very end of your butterfly's wing and turn it right back to it's original position.
Then you have the beginning of your butterfly chain. That's how you make a butterfly chain.
