A watch chain is made just the same as a belt, except that it is a longer and narrower piece of beadwork.

The loom is the same, except that end b is made of two little upright boards (x and y, Fig. 3) having a round hole through each near the top. (A and B.)

A stout pencil is run through these holes.

A tack driven into the pencil and another into B will keep the pencil steady.

The cross-strands must be the length of the chain, say 2 1/2 yards. They are single pieces of silk, not double as in the belt.

Tie one end of the cross-strands to the pencil.

Bring the cross-strands tight across the loom, and wind the remaining silk in each end around the brads.

When the space across the loom is filled with beadwork, unwind the ends from the brads.

Move the tack on the pencil from under the tack on the little board B, and wind the beadwork already completed around the pencil.

Place the tack on the pencil again under the tack on the board B, and restring the loom with the remaining ends.

Work again as before until the watch-chain is completed.

Note: An aluminum comb with teeth about 1-16 inch apart, may be fastened to each end of the loom instead of brads. Wind the thread around the teeth of the comb according to the direction for the brads.
