Easy Braided Bracelet DIY

• Preferably work on a flat surface, depending on the colors you are working with, I even recommend laying a white sheet so you can see all the little items you are going to use for this bracelet project.

STEP 1: THE BRAIDING

• Start by getting your 2 leather cord strands and align them together. Then insert them into one jump ring: one strip from front to back and the other one from back to front.
• Then insert a second jump ring but then inverse the process. The strip that came from the back, insert it from front to the back. You should get something like this:
• Keep inserting jump rings alternating the strips until you get the right size for your wrist.

STEP 2: INSTALL CRIMP CLASP ENDS

• Cut any leftover of the leather cord leaving a few millimeters to put the cord ends.
• Put together both cord strip ends and put in place the cord crimp end, optionally add a dab of fabric glue and close it. With a flat nose plier secure the cord end. These type of cord ends has sort of teeth so once you secure them they won’t come off unless you push really hard.

STEP 3: INSTALL CLASP

• Open a jump ring with your pliers and insert the cord end and your lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
• Do the same on the other end of the bracelet but this time insert only the cord end. Close the jump ring.
• Repeat this process with different cords and colors.
• There you go, You got yourself some really cute Braided bracelets!
• Optionally and as a final touch, you can add charms hanging from the jump rings so you can have your own charm bracelets.
