Cut cord for bracelet
Before weaving leather bracelets, prepare the necessary: we need leather shoelaces from any fabric store. Choose their colors, according to your taste, instead of leather shoelaces you can use strips from tissues or tape. Measure your wrist. Then cut out 2 strips from the leather lace, depending on how freely or tight your finished bracelet should sit. We advise you to cut off the length of the length with a margin, so that you can be deleted too much.
We start weaving
So, we start weaving: first do one lace and wrap one time on the index finger so that one end is outside the hand, and the other is inside. Then take the second lace and thread it horizontally through the threads of the first lace. Now take the right end of the second lace and stretch through the first thread from the first lace. Next, the opposite end of the second lace stretch through the second thread of the first cord. Now carefully remove the obtained workpiece from the fingers, pull for all the laces and tie the knot. You must have a node of 4 ribs with 4 free ends.

We make the following rows
Next, change places two horizontal threads (start on the left). Now take the top vertical end and thread it through the bottom horizontal, and the lower vertical end to the grove through the bottom horizontal. Tighten the knot again. Thus, changing the horizontal ends and makes vertical through them, continue the bracelet.
Finish weaving
To finish a bracelet, make the last node (following the previous steps), but do not tighten it, take the right horizontal knot and inhale it between the intertwining parties so that it turns out to be up. Turn over the workpiece, thread the next end to the other and pull out. Do not tighten the nodes received! Schedule one of the laces into the chain hole, secure the link pliers. Repeat the weaving for the two remaining ends, then tighten well. Attach the fastener to another end of the bracelet. Put the bracelet and button. Ready!
