Cut the leather cording to double your wrist size plus an extra 6 inches.
Tie an overhand knot at one end to create a loop for the clasp.
Stretch and prepare the silk cording to prevent future stretching.
Attach the silk cording to the leather with a square knot near the loop.
Thread Czech O Beads onto the silk cording, preparing about 8 inches of beaded length.
Begin the fishtail weave by alternating over and under each leather cord with the silk, adding beads into the pattern.
Continue the pattern until the desired bracelet length is achieved.
Secure the end with a knot, apply glue to the knots, and trim excess cording.
Add the clasp by threading the cording through a button and tying it off securely.
