Designer Tips

• Cut a piece of leather cord about 2" longer than desired finished necklace length. For this style of necklace, 16-18" is popular for a woman's necklace, and 18-20" is popular for a guy's necklace.
• Use split ring pliers to add the clasp to one split ring.
• Slide a barrel bead and split ring onto one end of the cord and make a loop. Crimp (firmly flatten) the barrel bead with non-serrated flat-nose jewelry pliers. To make sure it holds both pieces of the cord firmly in place, crimp each side of the bead.
• Add eagle bead, then add second split ring and barrel bead to other end of necklace.
• Verify length before crimping, and trim a little off the end if desired, then firmly crimp final barrel bead.
