Retired - The Road Warrior Necklace

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 piece of faux suede cord at twenty-eight inches long.
2. To make the necklace adjustable, tie either end in a simple knot about three inches down around the opposite side of the cord. Leave about a quarter of an inch of the excess cord and trim off anything longer than that. Set aside.
3. To create the lava and jasper charm, insert a headpin through two jasper beads, a lava bead, and two more jasper beads. Create a simple loop and trim off excess wire.
4. Add the small jump ring to the hole on the brass dog tag.
5. Gently open the large jump ring and to it add the dog tag, the feather, and the lava and jasper charm. Close again.
6. Pull the necklace cord taut with the adjustable knot at one end.
7. Thread the other end through the large jump ring so that a one inch loop protrudes.
8. Thread the adjustable knot end of the necklace through the loop, and tighten.
