Tuesday's Tips and Tools- How to Shorten a Ball and Chain Necklace

If you have a Ball and Chain Necklace and
 you would like to shorten it, here is the "how to".
The simplest way to shorten this kind of necklace
 is to bring the necklace up to the length you desire and tie a slip knot.
This method works well 
if you want to wear your necklace shorter sometimes
 but would still like the option of wearing your necklace long.
If you would like a more permanent fix
  you will need is a pair of
 wire cutters.
Measure where you would like the length of your necklace to be.
Slip the ball out of the clasp.
Measure the length you would like your chain to be one more time.
Using your wire cutters
 cut your chain between two of the balls of your chain.
Slip the ball back into the chain clasp.
You now have a shortened necklace.
Easy, right?
