This tutorial from PotomacBeads shows you how to make a Jump Ring Drop Cluster Necklace. Like the strung drop necklace, this project attaches Czech Drops to a length of leather or other cording of choice. This time, it uses jump rings. You can allow the drops to free float or, push them together and hold them clumped in a cluster by making a knot on either side of the cluster. Enjoy!

Nice selection. Disappointed that some basic seed beads have been out of stock for a long while and the clasps that I need are no longer in stock.

Very difficult to use drop down menu at the top of the page. I had to go to the site map at the bottom of the page to look for kits, etc.
