Attach this dangle to the other ribbon end crimp using eight jump rings linked together. Hook the trigger clasp from your other ribbon end crimp to the fifth jump ring in this chain.

Wrapped Loop Tutorial

Determine how much silver gray 1-inch velvet ribbon will be needed to make a choker that will fit properly with the clasp. Add about one inch to this desired length and then cut your ribbon to size.

Prepare the ends of the ribbon before adding your ribbon end crimps. Fold the corners of the ribbon down toward each other to make a triangle shape at the end of your ribbon. Stitch these folds down straight across the middle of the triangle. Add adhesive to the stitching for extra security and allow to dry. Once the adhesive is dry, cut the point of the triangle off, just above the stitch. Make sure that your ribbon end crimps cover the folded edge of the ribbon. Add more adhesive to the cut edges and allow to dry. Repeat on the other end of the ribbon. Fold each ribbon end crimp down on each end of ribbon using nylon jaw parallel pliers. Temporarily remove the jump rings from the ribbon ends if they get in the way of the pliers.
