Well this is not a beautiful creation like the rest on here but it is functional, and easy. I got a box of leather from My New Hobby, and decided to do something I had been planning to do for awhile. I just cut strips to fit back of Pendants, fold over, glue bottoms together, leaving room at top to fit cord thru, then I glue one side and place on back of Pendant.    Terry |

Terry, that is a cool idea. Does the glue hold onto the leather against the rock well?

Sitnwrap, I made the first ones last night, and tryed to rip them off this morning, and I think the leather will rip before they come off. It may be a good idea to rough up spot where you attach, to take gloss off of polished rock.

Looks like a good idea. What kind of glue are you using. I have been using E6000 on some glue on bales. It works good, just kinda thick, so sometimes hard to use just a little bit. I have some scrap leather so may have to give this a try.

Bob, I use super glue Loctite Precision, a small bottle lasts a long time.
You are having the same problem I was having with the glue on bails.

what a great idea. I'm always looking for some way to put bails on my cabs.
