It is by Watchmeflyy on Instructables. She made the links as small as possible.  However, if you don't mind them being a little bigger, use a small broad nose pliers to help you make even bends the width of the jaws. She also includes the instructions on how to make the clasp - I like and also make this style - and how to make your own jump rings.  If you are doing the latter, make sure you cut the wire coil one coil at a time, using one side of your flush cutter and then the other side for the next coil.  This gives you cleaner cuts.  Otherwise for really flush cuts, you will have to use a jewelry saw. Another alternative for making larger pendant sized wire stars is to use a star cookie cutter as a mandrel (see tutorial link below) Before You Go: How to Make Beaded Stars Tutorials Use Cookie Cutters to Make Wire Star Earrings How to Make Patriotic Jewelry Tutorials II ______________________________ Original Post by THE BEADING GEM Jewelry Making Tips - Jewelry Business Tips        Related Stories Make a Fabulous Tube and Multicord Knotted Bracelet Tutorial ZigZag Wire Work Earrings Tutorial Two Versatile Beaded Ring Tutorials   • Email to a friend • Article Search • View comments • Track comments • More Recent Articles Make a Fabulous Tube and Multicord Knotted Bracelet Tutorial Tiny Diver Cleavage Necklaces by ekoD Works Jet Beads' $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway for FMG Jewelry Supplies How to Make an Easy Scarf Ring Chevron Macrame Statement Necklace Tutorial Just How Much Diamond Does a Mine Produce?
