Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

  1. Cut a 20" length of dark brown faux leather suede cord.
  2. Fold your above length of cord in half and feed the end that is folded through the hole in the owl pendant, going from back to front. Pull an inch through and then feed your cord tails through the loop in the front. This is called a Lark's Head knot and can be seen in more detail in the video HERE.
  3. Apply a 3mm antique brass fold over crimp to each of your ribbon ends. If you want, you can add a bit of glue to help secure the ribbon.
  4. Open the jump ring attached to your lobster clasp and attach it to one of your fold over crimp ends. Close the loop. Repeat to attach a jump ring to the other side of your necklace.
  5. All done!
