One of our favorite diy projects are making wrap bracelets. Using 1mm or 2mm leather cord, make wrap bracelets using all types of beads!

Today’s project is a version from our previous blog post on GoodyBeads Master Mixes with Swarovski® bicone crystals. Check out the blog post for a step-by-step look at how we sew on bicone crystals and seed beads. We will use this same method on this DIY wrap bracelet with Czech fire polish beads. Also, before you get started you will want to read the How to Make Leather Wrap Bracelets to help determine the length of leather cord you will need for your wrap bracelet.

Now that you’ve gotten those tips and tricks down, here is what you’ll need for this wrap bracelet:

• TierraCast Button – item used in bracelet TC00900
• 1.5mm Leather Cord – item used in bracelet Z019143
  Note: You can also use 1mm, 1.3mm and 2mm leather cord. The best use for small leather cord like 1mm-1.5mm is if you are using small beads like seed beads or sizes under 4 or 5mm in diameter. If you plan to use larger beads like 6mm or 8mm, using 2mm leather cord works best.
• 11/0 Seed Beads – item used in bracelet SB00423
  Note: For smaller beads, use size 11/0 seed beads in the pattern. If using larger beads, you can use 8/0 or even size 6/0 seed beads.
• 3mm Czech Fire Polish Beads – item used in bracelet A008815 (Qty 3 strands)
  Note: We used about 140 beads for our double wrap bracelet, which is a quantity of 3 Czech fire polish bead strands. You will need more for more wraps in your bracelet.
• Beading Needle – A015211
• Crystal Fireline (4lb) – A006585

Directions: (You can follow Master Mix Bracelet for tutorial visuals)

1. Cut leather to length according to how many wraps you want. For a double wrap, we start out with 42 inches for a 7 inch bracelet.
2. Slide leather through button hole, situating the button in the center, fold leather in half and make an overhand knot close enough to the button.
3. With 4 feet of beading thread, tie the end of your beading thread to one piece of leather to harness your thread.
4. Ladder stitch a seed bead in between the two leather cords.
5. Ladder stitch two seed beads in between the two leather cords.
6. Pick up a seed bead and Czech bead. Sew both in between both leather cords.
7. Pick up a Czech bead and then a seed bead. Sew both between both leather cords.
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until you’ve reach a suitable length for wrist size.
9. Tie off your beading thread and cut off excess.
10. Take both ends of your leather cords and make an overhand knot, close enough to last beads you’ve stitched on.
11. Make another overhand knot about 15mm to 20mm apart, or wide enough for your button to slide through.
    Optional: Make another overhand knot for an extended length if needed.
12. Cut excess leather cord.
