Designer Tip: Cut a 2-link, 10-link, and a 18-link segment from the chain. Add two 4mm jump rings to the smaller section of each focal component. Use a 6mm jump ring to attach the 2 sets of 4mm jump rings and the three chain segments, ensuring the longest segment is in the middle. Thread each of the sea glass teardrops onto a head pin; form a simple loop at the top and attach each drop to one of the chain segments. Cut the leather into four segments. Find the center of two leather segments; attach to the wider part of a focal using a Larks Head knot. Repeat on the other side. Use a small amount of glue on the back of both knots to secure in place. Trim the leather ends to 6 inches and glue each set of ends into a cord end. Attach the lobster clasp to one cord end using a 4mm jump ring; attach the 6mm jump ring to the other cord end.
