    3. Two with five turquoise rondelles

  4. Connect the eyepins together in the order listed above, by opening up the loops and securing them around the other eyepin loops. Connect a piece of chain (about an inch) between the two eyepins with five turquoise rondelles.

  5. Use a 4mm jump ring to connect the large blue leaf to the center of the small piece of chain.
