1. Take the leather strip and measure it around your neck- before you cut you want the strip to be an inch and a half shorter than your actual neck measurement
2. Once you have cut the leather strip, take a ribbon clamp and use the pliers to close the clamp on one end of the strip. Make sure the ribbon clamp is secure by pressing hard on the edges. Do the same on the opposite side.
3. Measure and cut 3 inches of the chain extender. Use a jump ring to link the end of the ribbon clamp with the chain extender. Ensure the jump ring is closed and secure with your jewelry pliers.
4. On the opposite side of the of the strip, take a jump ring and link the clasp with the end of the ribbon clamp.
5. Find the middle of the leather strip and take a pin or needle and create a hole at the bottom. Creating a hole with the leather material might take a couple twists with the pin.
6. Now take another jump ring and put it though the hole, and while the jump rings is still open, take your charm and place it inside the jump ring and close the jump ring with your pliers.
