Project Instructions
Step 1 Cut the leather lace into four 20" pieces.
Step 2 Fold two 20" pieces of leather lace in half and and string a lark’s head knot on the pave donut.
Step 3 String a large hole bead onto all four strands of lace up to the lark’s head knot.
Step 4 Braid the four strands. Starting on the outside left, weave that strand over, under and over the three remaining strands. Repeat this step until you have a flat braid that is 2" long. Pass all four strands through a gold faceted big hole bead. Continue to braid another 2".
Step 5 Fold over the ends of the leather lace and secure with a 2½" piece of gold-plated wire.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 2-5 for the other side.
Step 7 Attach a large jump ring through the leather loop. Close securely.
Step 8 Cut the beading wire into two 5" pieces.
Step 9 Attach the beading wire to the closed jump ring using nine seed beads and one crimp tube. Crimp securely.
Step 10 String the following pattern: three amethyst iris rondelles, one gold plated donut. Repeat two more times. End with three amethyst iris rondelles.
Step 11 Secure the other side to the toggle clasp with a crimp.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 7-11 for the other side.
