Tutorial
Step One: Gather your items.
Step Two: Cut a meter or 3.5’ length of 2mm leather cord. Make a 4” loop at one end and lay it on the back side of your licorice leather, centered.
Step Three: Take your leather cord and wrap around the licorice leather and coil downwards. Coil down for a length of 2 inches.
Step Four: Slip that leather end through the loop you’ve made in step two.
Step Five: Holding your coils, take your pliers and pull on the beginning thread end on the other side. As you pull, the loop is shorten and pull the thread end from step four under your coil.
Step Six: Pull the cord until the loop is situated in the middle of your coils.
Step Seven: Cut your cord ends close enough to the coils.
Step Eight: Cut your licorice leather to your preferred wrist length, making sure to situate your coils in the center. Glue on your clasp and you are ready to wear it after the glue dries for at least an hour.
