STEP 1:
Thread the gauriya leather cord through the tear drop-shaped swarovski crystal. The crystal should be in the middle of the leather cord.

Fold the 2 metre long nymo thread into equal halves. Thread through the big eye needle with the U-shaped end of the nymo thread. Fasten the nymo thread loop about 10mm away from the crystals. 

Using the figure-8 method, thread on a few crimp beads before securing the wine glass charm to the clipboard. This way, it will be easier as you'll have more working length after you secure the wine glass charm to the clipboard.
