Designer Tips:
- This simple leather design is perfect for large-hole beads.
- Cut the leather and fold it in half. Make an overhand knot one-half inch down from folded end to make the button loop.
- Attach the charms to bails using jump rings.
- Loop the cord through the button and knot on the backside of the button.
- The finished length is 7.5". Make it longer or shorter depending on your wrist (or ankle) size.
