Paddle Wheel Necklace

Materials:

• two round "templates," one of about 2", the other about 1-1/8" diameter
• thick leather
• vinyl glue and an old brush
• clips
• scissors
• a rope, or yarn to make your own
• a clasp
• needle and thread

Instructions:

1. Cut 5 round pieces of leather, both for the 2" and the 1" diameter.
    
2. Apply some glue on slightly less than half of the circle.
    
3. Place the other circle on top and clip it.
    
4. Keep doing this until you get the shape of a 5-point star with a hole in the middle.
    
5. Repeat for the other bead.
   
   
    
6. Thread a cord or a rope through the leather beads. (I made an I-cord and twisted it to make it slightly thicker, but anything works.)
    
7. I added a clasp and made loops wrapped in leather to give it the "pulled together" look!
