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.
