Hoops can help you create fun new styles in your jewelry. Cynthia used a Nunn Design hoop to dangle cute Nunn Design pendants, along with a sparkly crystal drop. The hoop is the perfect way to bring matching focals together in a stylish way. See more inspiration for using hoops in your jewelry in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Attach a 2-inch satin Hamilton gold-plated 20 gauge eye pin to the top of the circle open pendant using a mini rope jump ring. Then, add a 8mm faceted round in Light Topaz to the eye pin, followed by a 5x5mm antique gold-plated pewter cone-shaped bead cap. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads.

Add a JBB 2mm brass crimp end cap with loop to each end of the leather by squeezing the middle of the end cap down around the leather with pliers.
