In this video tutorial from The Potomac Bead Company, Allie teaches you how to make her leather wrap bracelet, made with Potomac Crystals (4mm round). Find a list of supplies in the description below.
Prepare Materials: Cut leather to four times your wrist length. Prepare a 5-foot thread with a needle.
Starting the Bracelet: Begin with a single dark bead, working upwards in width to three beads. Use an overhand knot to create a loop for the button.
Adding Beads: Continue adding beads in chosen colors, creating a gradient effect. Ensure beads are placed three wide for the main pattern.
Continuing the Pattern: Maintain consistency in bead placement and thread direction. Adjust the tightness to allow some movement of the beads.
Downgrading Beads: As you near the bracelet's end, reduce the bead count from three to one, reversing the process used at the start.
Attaching the Button: Sew the crystal button onto the leather to secure the bracelet. Finish by tying and trimming the thread and leather ends.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.

Did not understand all the junk offerings of unwanted items as the final step to completing my purchase. Thought I was done, and almost closed out site when I finally noticed "No thanks complete my purchase button. Had to choose that button 2 times to complete purchase. Find that very confusing and deceptive trying to trick people into accidentally buying products they do not want. A big negative for me when dealing with a business.
