Making jewelry for yourself and people dear to your heart is an entertaining business that many people like. Do you want to try your hand at it? We bring to your attention a simple and interesting lesson on creating a cool bracelet, for the manufacture of which you will need a waxed cord and leather, some accessories and, of course, a good mood and imagination!

Where do we start?

First of all, find a leather and waxed cord - you will need 1.5 meters of both. Experienced DIY enthusiasts may think that making a waxed cord with their own hands is a good idea, but we do not advise beginners to do this and we recommend that you simply purchase everything you need in a store. The colors of the cords can be any - it depends only on your preferences. Then find a suitable chain with round links, as in the picture - you will need approximately 40 cm. Match the chain with a metal nut of a similar color. That's all, you can startmanufacturing!

So let's get started…

First, fold the leather cord in half to form a loop. It should freely, but not too much, enter the nut - this will be the clasp of the bracelet. Now tie the waxed cord around the leather cord so that there is a small loop left and wrap it around a few times - this will be the beginning of your bracelet.

Weave the chain

After you have secured the waxed cord to the leather cord, it's time to move on to the next step - to add a chain to your bracelet. This is done easily: we attach the chain to the leather lace so that its end rests on the beginning of your bracelet, on the waxed cord. We hold the chain with one hand, and with the other we fix it on the bracelet, wrapping it with the same waxed cord.

We continue to weave the bracelet

Getting started, little left to do: you need to continue in the same spirit, assembling your bracelet. Try to do the same as shown in the pictures - put the waxed cord between the round links of your chain. Take your time and be careful, and then you can easily make a waxed cord bracelet that will look harmoniously with completely different clothes!

Come to the final and make a clasp

Periodically try on the bracelet on your hand - in theory, it should sit tight enough, fitting your hand, but not interfering with blood circulation. Ideally, the bracelet shouldbe wrapped around the wrist twice, but if you don't like it, you can make it shorter or longer, depending on your preference. Once you know your bracelet is just the length you want it to be, move on to the final step and attach the clasp. This is easy to do: first make the winding in the same way as you did at the beginning. Then tie the waxed and leather laces into a knot, tie a nut to them and secure it with another knot. Try to tie the knots tightly, but at the same time evenly and neatly.

Here is your bracelet and ready!

Try it on by asking for help from someone who is nearby - putting on such a bracelet alone is not too easy. By the way, this is compensated by the fact that you can wear such a bracelet without taking it off - it will not interfere with your usual activities.
