Do you want to make a simple necklace for yourself or a special guy in your life, but aren't sure how to go about it? Here is the time of DIY! This simple leather necklace is a good choice for anyone. All you need is a pendant, a leather cord, connectors, and a clasp. It's a great beginner project for an attractive necklace.
There are several steps that you need to consider such as prepare simple leather necklace materials, find materials for this project online and then you can learn how to make necklaces:
Have a look at your prepared materials. You want the ends of the cord to barely slide into the coil connector. Put the cord around the neck of the person who will be wearing it and cut it to the suited length. Then get a paper and trace around the edge of the circle with the pencil. Position the leather punch at the top center of the leather circle. Make sure about a 1/4-inch gap from the top of the leather punch to the end of the circle.
This is how to make leather pendant and now we will learn beading:
Measure the length of the necklace by draping the cord around the neck of the person who will be wearing it and cut it to the suited length. Fold the cord in half and make sure that both ends are even. Push the folded end of the cord through the hole in the pendant. The hole in the pendant should be large enough to fit the folded cord.
Second, Passes through the terminal circle. This will attach the pendant to the leather cord. Thread the three beads over both cords and push them down until they hit the knot above the pendant. Finally make sure the bead hole is large enough to fit both ends of cord through.
Last, you need to crimp the bottom coils to the cord with pliers. This will attach the coil around the leather cord. Repeat on the other end. Open the extended loop on one of the coils using the pliers. Only open the loop enough to fit the lobster claw through it. Slide the looped end of the lobster claw over the open end of the coil loop, then close the loop with the pliers.
Now you already had belonged to your exclusive leather necklace with pendant. It's your time to show the beautiful work to your friends.
