More Interchangeables..

Another 'interchangeable' - like the button and ring ones, this is a short length designed to clip onto a leather thong. I thought pearls and leather sounded a bit odd, but the look great together! Not a twin set in sight..

This is an easy make - the only fiddly bits are the last 2 crimp and loop pieces, and I think that would have been a lot easier if I had 2 fully functioning arms today!

Supplies:

• 1 Leather thong
• 2 10mm lobster clasps
• 15 8mm Jolie Vache pearls - 8 in one colour and 7 in another. (I used teal and parma violet)
• 2 17mm textured connectors
• Acculon tigertail - about 12"
• 12 crimp beads

Tools:

• Chain Nose Pliers. Sharp scissors or snippers

Method:

• Cut the tigertail into 3 equal pieces
• Make a loop of tigertail around one connector and secure with 2 crimps
• Repeat on another piece of tigertail

• Loop the third piece of tigertail through one of the connectors and secure with 2 crimps - this is the middle section of the necklace
• Thread on 5 8mm beads and loop through the other connector. Secure with 2 crimps
• Thread 5 8mm beads onto each of the 2 tigertail lengths, fold the tigertail round to form a loop and then secure with 2 crimps. This final loop needs to be large enough for the lobster clasp to clip on to
• Remove the existing lobster clasp from the leather thong
• Attach a 10mm clasp to each spring end
• Attach the centre section
• Wear and enjoy!
