• Step 1

  Measure the leather- this should be twice around your wrist and enough extra on both sides for a fastening. My wrists are quite small, so I used about 14 inches.

• Step 2

  Measure the string. I used dark brown hemp. This needs to be twice the length of the leather, with a bit extra.

• Step 3

  Fold the leather in half, and clamp it to a piece of cardboard or thick magazine using a bulldog clip or something similar

• Step 4

  Fold the string in half. knot this onto the leather, about half and inch down the leather.

• Step 5

  With the hem sting, make alternating figure 8. Do about 4 or 5.

• Step 6

  Now bring the string on one side underneath the leather and thread it onto a bead. Do the same with the string on the other side. So that the bead is on both pieces of sting.

• Step 7

  Bring the string over the top of the leather and back down underneath the side, and repeat threading beads. I alternated brown and orange 8mm crackle glass beads.

• Step 8

  After about 16 beads, repeat making the figure 8s with the string.

• Step 9

  Double knot the string onto the leather

• Step 10

  Thread a button onto the end of the leather. When you remove the bracelet from the board, the top should be a hole that the button can fit through.
