We were able to sponsor this make & take class along with Dakota Stones during the 2018 Bead & Button Show with Candie Cooper. See how easy it is to create this Seaside Flora Leather Bracelet.
Perfect for a beachside getaway and catching some rays, this bracelet is made with black gold Amazonite and White African Opal gemstones from Dakota Stones, 1mm leather cord and silver beads.
Items used for bracelet:

Bracelet Tutorial
- Cut leather in half or about 24″ each.
- Slide both strands of leather through large gemstone bead (WAF10RDLH-8) and make an overhand knot with all 4 strands.
- Separate and fan out the four strands.
- With the middle two strands, slide on a small black gold Amazonite gemstone. Next, with the bottom two strands, slide on a metal bead. And with the top two strands, slide on a metal bead.
- Repeat Step 4 sequence, five more times. End with a small gemstone to the middle two strands.
- Evenly space out the beads to fit your wrist size. Make and overhand knot with all four strands. Make another knot about 3/4″ from previous knot.
- Cut excess leather ends.
Love this and want to try it as soon as I receive the leather cord.
Love this! Seen Candie & Torie making these from Bead & Button show. I tried but my beads were just sliding together in big bunch. My beads had big holes and are shaped weird, don’t know what they are called. After you add the first bead to the center and then take outside strings do you add bead to both left and right outside??
Hello Debbie. Yes, you add a bead to both left and right two strands.
