Fill the circle space of the pendant with rows of TOHO Treasure 11/0 transparent silver-lined ice blue seed beads, embedding the beads into the epoxy clay. You can add the beads to an eye pin to see how many beads you will need for each row before pressing them into the clay. Once they are pressed into the clay, pull the eye pin free. Fill the crescent space of the pendant using the TOHO Treasure 11/0 translucent white rainbow seed beads in the same manner.

You can add silver mica powder/eye shadow to the back of the pendant if you desire, for a cleaner look on the back.

Using a 2-foot length of Leather Cord USA 1mm metallic pacific round leather, fold the leather in half. Bring the ends of the leather through the hole of the pendant. Bring them under the fold of the leather and pull tight to loop the leather around the hole of the pendant.

Add a JBB 2mm antique sterling silver crimp end cap with loop to each end of the leather and crimp in place by squeezing with pliers in the middle of each crimp.
