Super Simple One Tool Bracelet Tutorial



Gather the following ingredients:
2. 2mm sterling silver end caps, one eye, one hook
3. A selection of 8mm Greek ceramic washers







Slide the beads onto the leather.

Take them off.

Put them on again.

Keep putting them on and off till you're happy!




Pop an end cap onto one end of the leather.

Use a fine pair of pliers to squish the centre section of the cap onto the leather.  




Don't press too hard!


Put the almost-finished-bracelet on your wrist and check the length.  Cut the leather, add the other end cap, and squish!



Tada!
