    Wrap Bracelets
    Materials
    Gather the following materials:
    6mm round beads, leather cord (greek
    leather/ 1.5mm-2mm), thread - size D
    recommended, clasp (button, bead
    or charm with center holes), beading
    needle, scissors, clips and a thin board/
    work surface. Glue is optional.

    Start threading in a figure eight stitch. Do


    not add any beads to the bracelet yet.
    Wrap the thread over the right strand to
    the outside, then under the right, over the
    left to the outside, under the left and then
    over the right. Repeat 6 times. Pull the
    thread tight against the leather.

    Getting Started
    Determine the bracelet length. To make a
    single wrap bracelet, triple the number of
    your wrist measurement (7 = 21).
    To make a double wrap bracelet, multiply
    seven times your wrist measurement (7
    = 49). This allows for extra cord to make
    the knots at the beginning and end of the
    bracelet.
    Cut a 10 to 12 piece of thread and
    thread the needle. Knot the ends.
    Fold the length of leather cord in half.
    Hold the knotted end of the thread with
    the fold of leather and tie an overhand
    knot. *The loop of the leather needs to
    be large enough to fit the button/bead
    through it.

    Use a clip to hold the knotted end of the


    bracelet onto a board/work surface. Use
    additional clips to hold the leather cord
    down onto other end of the board/work
    surface.

    Start adding beads into the weaving.


    Pass the thread under the left leather
    cord and add a bead. Hold the bead in
    place between the leather cords. After
    threading on the bead, bring the thread
    over the right and back under the right,
    through the bead again and over the left.
    Repeat for each bead.

    Finish the bracelet the same way it was


    started by weaving the figure eight stitch
    without beads 6 times. Then tie a knot with
    the leather and thread. Tie the button/
    bead in a knot with the leather. Use a
    drop of glue to secure the thread and
    leather. Trim the excess pieces.

    Options
    There are many ways to finish off the
    bracelet end, choose the look that
    expresses you.
