Materials Used To make The  Project

Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
  • Leather (preferably 1.5 to 2mm thick, Greek leather recommended)
  • Cup chain (SS14 opal color with a silver setting used in the tutorial)
  • Silk cording (Griffin silk in beige, size 6)
  • Button (Peor button with a flower design used as the clasp)
  • Super new glue
  • Ruler
  • Bead mat
  • Cutting tool (flush cutters or sharp scissors)
  • (Optional) Thread burner for trimming silk cording
  • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Measure and cut leather to double your wrist size plus 4 inches. Choose your cup chain and silk cording colors.
    Start the Bracelet: Attach the button to one end of the leather. Tie a knot at the other end to create a loop for the clasp.
    Begin Wrapping: Secure the silk cording to the leather with a knot. Start wrapping the cording around the leather, positioning the cup chain on top.
    Wrapping Technique: Wrap silk cording twice between each cup of the chain, ensuring the leather remains flat.
    Finishing Wraps: After covering the length of the cup chain, secure the silk cording with three wraps and a knot at the end. Attach the button if not already done.
    Final Touches: Trim excess leather and cording. Apply glue to knots for additional security. Allow to dry.
