I was definitely playing when I came up with this cute design. I couldn't stop linking hoops together and I thought they looked great with the leather. The best part is this is a totally versatile design. I can wear it with anything! author signature

If you're looking for a new way to use hoops in your jewelry designs, this is it Cynthia linked several hoops together with textured jump rings for a playful style. She finished the look with leather. See more inspiration for using hoops in your jewelry in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Cut a length of Leather Cord USA 1.5mm natural red brown round leather approximately 12 inches. Fold the leather in half and bring the fold through the hoop at one end of your chain. Bring the ends of the leather through the fold of the leather and pull to cinch it tight around the hoop. Repeat this step on the other end of the hoop chain.

Add a JBB antique silver-plated pewter large crimp end cap with loop to the two ends of leather at one side of your necklace and crimp it in place by squeezing the middle of the end cap with pliers. Repeat on the other side of the necklace.
