Quick Project Steps

Prepare Materials: Cut the leather cording to three times the length of your wrist. Close the jump rings slightly open.
Start the Bracelet: Fold the leather, creating a loop at one end for the button. Start with a jump ring, then alternate beads on each side, threading through both strands.
Create the Pattern: Add jump rings between beads, alternating sides to form a zigzag pattern. Tighten and align the pattern by pulling the cords.
Finish the Bracelet: Once you reach the desired length, tie an overhand knot to secure the last ring.
Attach the button by threading the leather through and tying it off.
Customize: Add fringe or charms for a personalized touch.
