How to End a Leather Cord Necklace
Leather cords make natural-looking jewelry. With some beads, stone or a pendant, leather cord jewelry hearkens back to the days of ancient Greece. There are two ways to finish a leather cord necklace depending on the length of the necklace. If it is long enough to go over your head, use a knot to finish it. If it is too short to go over your head, use a coil clasp to finish it instead.
