Instructions to complete the Boho Style Amazonite and Leather Necklace

Step 1
Take the 10mm twisted jump ring and using your pliers attach it to your Green Girl Studio Owl charm.
Cut a 30cm length piece of Beadalon beading wire. Slide ONE of the gunmetal crimp beads onto one end of the wire. Then holding your small wire guardian thread your beading wire through and around both holes leaving a small tail of wire. Place the wire guardian over the largest pewter connector.
Slide the small tail of wire through the little gunmetal crimp bead and use your crimping pliers to hold both pieces of wire securely. Trim off any excess wire.

Step 2
Thread your beads and spacers onto the beading wire.
Then same in Step 1 slide the other gunmetal crimp bead onto the end of the wire. Holding your wire guardian thread your beading wire through and around both holes leaving a small tail of wire. Place the wire guardian over the other large pewter connector. Slide the tail of wire through the little gunmetal crimp bead and use your crimping pliers to hold both pieces of wire securely. Trim off any excess wire.
Add your Owl charm to the centre of your Beaded necklace.

Step 3
With your two 60cm pieces of saddle tan leather, fold each piece in half and thread each one through the top of the large pewter connector to tie a knot. Then slide the small Tierra cast barrel bead over both strands of leather and slide it down to the bottom of the pewter connector as shown in the photo.

Step 4
Take the other small pewter connector and tie the other end of your leather to it. Repeat the process on the other side. You should now and two tail of leather on each pewter connector, slide a 4mm silver spacer bead onto each strand and tie a small knot to hold the spacer bead in place. Trim off any excess leather.
