2. Follow Allie’s step-by-step directions in the Box Car bracelet tutorial to create the length of the bracelet.
3. Add the cup button at the end using seed beads to anchor it. Tie a knot. Put the needle back on the starter end and thread through the connection point again and tie of. Use super glue to dab the knots.
