- Take your two left strands and slide through one hole of oval bead. And take your two right strands and slide through other hole of oval bead.
- Repeat Steps 3-6 one more time.

- Rhinestone clasp comes with an end connector with a small loop. Open jump ring, slide through small loop and close.
- Make sure to wrap bracelet on your wrist to help determine where you want to situate your knot. Take your four ends and slide jump ring through all ends and do an overhand knot with the jump ring/ring connector within the knot.
- Try on the bracelet and adjust knot you made previously if you need to make length shorter or longer. Cut leather ends as an option.
