Having a Ball Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Valorie Nygaard-Pouzar
Designer Tips
Measure the distance from the centermost point of the ball chain (this size is .25") and mark the increments on the back of the leather bracelet.
Use an awl to pierce holes in the leather in the places you marked. If you have a sewing machine, you can pierce the leather bracelet using an unthreaded sewing machine.
Stitch the ball chain onto the bracelet using Griffin silk cord (which has a built-in brass needle).
Make one, or make 100's! This ball chain is available by the full spool, or by the single foot. See below for both options.
