Steps:

1. Measure and separate 19.5” segment of polyester chain using a ruler and your ergo cutter tool.
    
2. Attach a swivel lobster clasp to one end of the chain using a 6x7.5mm oval jump ring and two pairs of chain nose pliers.
    
3. Create coiled head pin dangles using the ball tipped head pins and the bicones and rondelles. Place these to the side.
    
4. Attach a rose star to the 5th chain link using a 6mm jump ring. Add a vintage rose dangle to the front of the star by sliding it on the front of the 6mm jump ring with a 4.5x6mm oval jump ring.
    
5. Move to the 9th chain link and attach a small moon with a 6mm jump ring. Add two rose bicone dangles on a 4.5x6mm oval jump ring to the front of the moon.
    
6. Continue pattern, alternating between moons and stars on every 4th link.
    
7. When you reach the 34th link, attach the large crystal silver moon using a 6mm jump ring. Add a 6x7.5mm jump ring with 2 rose dangles, one vintage rose dangle and two more rose dangles in that order to the front of the moon.
    
8. Go back to initial pattern of stars and moon starting with a rose star.
    
9. After attaching the 8th star, go to the last link in the chain and attach the final star to it.
    
10. Work back through the design to ensure all links are secured properly.
