Step 1 — Attaching the Lobster Claw
Gather the materials for your DIY.
Add big jump rings to each of the ends of the two chains. Do not close the jump rings just
yet.
Attach the lobster claw to one of the jump rings on the first chain and close.
Step 2 — Adding the Horse Bit Pendant
Attach the other end of the first chain to one end of the horse bit pendant loop using the
jump ring and close the jump ring.
Attach the end of the second chain to the horse bit pendant using the jump ring and close
the jump ring. You have now created your horse bit pendant.

Step 3 — Crimp the Leather Charm
Take the 2 inch leather strip and place it into the crimp end, lining it up evenly.
Use your pliers to clamp down both sides of the metal around the leather. Squeeze with a
moderate amount of pressure for a secure hold.
Tip: Add glue under the crimp for extra hold.
Step 4 — Cutting the Leather
Cut the ends of the leather into a fun fringe or shape.
We recommend making 3 vertical cuts and 2 angled cuts at the end to create a point.
Customization tip: Try fraying the sides or making multiple little cuts all around for a
vintage look.
