Belle Starr Leather and Turquoise Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Mollie Valente

Designer Tips
Start with extra leather and thread, cutting off any excess is better than not having enough.

For security, add additional stitches on the first and last beads.

Stay focused, the figure-eight stitching is easily done, but it is also easy to make a mistake.

Use the two-hole punch to make two opposing holes, thus turning the wavy disk into a button.

For added adornment, use oval jump rings to attach themed charms.
