To cut a cable chain, hold the chain down against a ruler at your desired length and use wire cutters to snip the chain away from you.
Detailed Steps:
- Measure: Determine the length you need for your cable chain. A typical length for a charm necklace is 16-24 inches.
- Secure: Hold the chain firmly against a ruler at the measured point.
- Cut: Use wire cutters to cut the chain. It's best to cut "away from you" for safety.
