I think this will work much better.<br /><br />I agree, too, about open jump rings. They just aren't secure enough. However, if it's a situation where you can join directly to the finding, a closed jump ring -- soldered shut so there is no gap-- works great and is smoother to join to than a split ring. Then if necessary you just use a split ring to attach the closed jump ring to whatever else you need to.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-58658609027704266302015-05-06T18:55:42.681+01:002015-05-06T18:55:42.681+01:00Easy.

I had been stringing them on with the beads, and when I tatted the ring where the 'split ring' was supposed to be, treated it like a 'bead' and put it on my hand along with the other beads that needed to be in the ring. BUT before I closed the ring, I had to unload the shuttle full of thread, slip the shuttle thread through the split ring, THEN rewind the shuttle and close the ring. Works, but it's a bit of a pain if there is quite a lot of thread on the shuttle. Your way is SO much easier!<br />StephanieW Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-42695184486849319422015-05-06T09:30:08.805+01:002015-05-06T09:30:08.805+01:00I think this is what they call "K I S S "...I think this is what they call "K I S S ". - so simple, what a good idea.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.com
