MATERIALS NEEDED

2-2.5mm antique gunmetal nuggets (282 pieces)

2mm natural red brown leather cord (7 feet)

brown silk thread (sewing thread; 22 metres)

sterling silver button (1)

2.125 inch big eye needle (1)

clipboard (1)

STEP 1

Thread your leather cord through the button from the concave side. Make sure the button is at the middle of the leather cord.

For illustration only. Cord not exact.

STEP 2

Secure your button and leather cord to the clipboard. This will help to provide tension when threading the nuggets.

STEP 3

Cut the 22 metre long brown silk thread into 2 equal halves, place them side by side and fold it in half.

Thread through the big eye needle with the U-shaped end of the silk threads, then form a loop by folding the U-shape end towards the needle.

STEP 4

Thread the bottom leather cord through the loop formed with the silk threads.

STEP 5

Tighten the silk threads that loop around the bottom leather cord firmly, about 5mm away from the back of the button (convex side).

STEP 6

Thread each nugget onto the leather cords in a figure-8 method.

TIPS

Position the nugget so that it sits nicely beside the previous one. Support the back of the nuggets with your index finger while pulling the loose ends to tighten the silk thread loop.

Make sure that the leather cords are perpendicular to the top of the clipboard with firm tension while you pull the loose ends of the silk thread. Otherwise you will get a "smiling" bracelet.

Top: proper tension. Bottom: improper tension = "smiling" bracelet.

Proper tension.

If the threads get messed up, part the 2 leather cords and loosen the loop of the silk threads and re-tighten them.

If they are just slightly messed up, sometimes, they can be neatened by turning the nuggets in the correct direction.

STEP 7

Once you have finished threading all 282 nuggets, end the leather cords with an overhand knot. The space between the first and second knot should be approximately 15mm. The length of the bracelet should be approximately 32 inches, measuring from the back of the button to the end of the first knot.
