I have a lion's claw that I would like to make into a necklace. I just want something simple and natural looking. I am thinking of using just a leather thong of some type, but I don't know what or where to get one. Any ideas out there, or some other type of material?? Thanks!!

Go to a local boot store and get a leather boot lace--

Craft stores sell alot of different supplies for making the neckless. Ex: tiny eye screws to attach it

yes, leather boot laces are a great start!
