Bracelet tutorial

1.Supplies

• 24" of 1mm leather lace(round)
• 2 yd. of .15mm beading thread
• 25-6mm glass or stone beads
• 1-5/8" button with a shank back
• 2-beading needles
• clips and a board

2.Thread a needle on each end of the beading thread.
3.Tie a loop in the middle of the leather cord
(size the loop to fit your button).  clip loop to the top of your board(i'm using a quilting
square a small clip board would work great)
also clip down the 2 tails at the bottom.
4.Thread on 1 bead(slide it to the middle of your thread) and lay it between the 2 leather cords.
5.Then go under the cord and through the bead hole and over the cord on the other side.
6.And do the same with the other needle.
Remember to go under the cord on one side and over the cord when you come out on the other side.
7.Thread on the next bead and lay it between the cords and repeat the process.
8.Repeat until you have 25 beads on or 6" of
beads. Measure your wrist if you think it should be smaller or larger.
9.At the end go through twice and end both threads on the same side. Tie several knots.
You may also add a small dab of glue to ensure
it stays secure.
10.The shank on the button needs to be large enough for 2 pieces of cord to fit.
11.Thread on button.
12.Tie the cord under the button. You may use a dab of glue inside the knot here(using a toothpick).
Cut the excess leather cord....done:)
