    Enlighten yourself to the beauty of leather and wire jewelry. Learn how to make this contemporary looking Eternal Lasso necklace with Allie in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
    1. Cut about 10 inches of 20ga wire. Use pliers to make a loop on the end, making sure it is big enough to fit the leather through. Wrap the extra wire around the bottom of the loop, trim the end. Put on a Buddha head. Create another loop underneath the bead. Cut off the wire. Create 15 pieces. Go back through and pinch down any loose ends.
    2. Watch the Eternal Lasso necklace tutorial to see how Allie makes the infinite loops of leather to connect the Buddha heads.
    3. Make an S hook out of the wire by bending it around a sharpie. Slide a Buddha head on and bend the wire in the opposite direction. Roll the ends of the wire back into tiny loops. Thread the S hook into the two leather loops at the ends of your necklace.
    This versatile Eternal Lasso necklace can be made as a bracelet or anklet. It’s easy to switch out the beads to make a more personalized look. Check out our large selection of high quality beads at PotomacBeads.
