Here's a stylish accessory to hold your glasses when you're not wearing them ~ and you can customize it in a variety of ways!  First choose a "center" link from one of the four styles, then select the length of leather cord you prefer (we show some examples to help you decide).  Decorate the ends of the leather cord with large hole beads if you like, or leave them plain.  We have some to choose from.  Then attach pinch ends to the ends of the leather cord and connect one side to a clasp and the other to the center link using the jump rings provided with the center link. 
 
Tip:  You may need to open the pinch ends slightly in order to get the cord in all the way.  We use our round nose pliers to gently open them.
 
This is literally a 5 minute project!
 
To help you decide the length of leather you want to use, here are some examples:
 
    
 
The picture on the left used 15" of leather cord.  The picture on the right used 21"
 
Supply List:
 
1 Center Link with 2 Jump Rings included
2 Pinch Ends
1 Clasp (Lobster, Trigger, etc.)
Your desired Length of Leather Cord
Large Hole Beads (Optional)
 
Tip:  If you are purchasing this item for sunglasses, measure the hinge of your sunglasses to be sure they will fit.  Each Center Link has the inside measurement shown.
