To make:
Note: it takes 19 links to make 1 metre (39 inches) of chain.

1. Lay grosgrain ribbon flat on work surface; using glue gun, glue satin ribbon along length of grosgrain ribbon, ensuring narrower ribbon is centred.

2. Starting at one end, glue crystals along edges of grosgrain ribbon, stopping 2.5 cm (1 inch) before opposite end.

3. Form ribbon into circle, overlapping ends; secure with one staple in centre.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each link, inserting new link through previous link before overlapping ends and stapling, to form chain.

5. To use as garland for mantel or staircase, finish with two 30.5 cm (12-inch) lengths of 1½-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon slipped through first and last links; tie in a bow.
