I usually don't wear a lot of accessories in the winter time because it gets all tangled up in the wool and I mainly worry about staying warm :)

But now, that the weather is so beautiful, it's time to start accessorizing again. YAY!

And since I am absolutely in love with leather and beads at the moment, I came up with this super pretty slave bracelet tutorial.



Here is what you'll need:

♥ 1mm waxed irish linen cord (about 90 inch)
♥ small beads
♥ scissors



1. Cut 3 x 17inch strands (depending on the size of your hand)



2. Knot the three strands twice and braid them.



4. Make a loop knot at the other end (its just like a knot but you leave the loop out instead of pulling it through).



5. Cross and pin at about 1 7/8 inch (that's where the middle finger will go).



6. Cut off a 30 inch strand.



7. Put a knot in one end and guide through braid.



8. Put about 8 beads on the string and guide through braid.



9. Guide string back through braid (about 1/8 inch below) and repeat step 9, adding more beads to each row.



10. At the end, guide string through and make a double knot.



11. Cut of the remaining string and you are done :)





Put it on your finger, wrap it around and close it by putting the knot in the loop.



So easy and pretty!

Happy Crafting! :)
