Designer Tip: Mark and punch (using the second smallest setting on the leather punch) four holes in the leather: 1/8 inch, inch, 1 inch, and 1 7/8 inches from one end of the leather. Fold the leather over the ring and secure the loop by setting two 6mm rivets. Mark and punch (this time using the smallest setting on the leather punch) two more holes inch and 7/8 inches from the other end of the leather; set a 4mm rivet in each hole. Center the Om link between the two sets of rivets; mark and punch (using the smallest setting) holes. Set the link with two more 4mm rivets. Trim the end of the leather into a V shape; color the cut edge with a black or turquoise Sharpie of desired.
