2. Tie the two ends of the elastic together in to a tight (but not too tight) knot so that the bracelet slips on and off easily and then secure the knot with a dab of super glue and leave to dry.


3. Thread the leather though the last 4 beads, 2 on to each side (by threading the beads on to each side of the leather the knot in the elastic will be hidden from view when the bracelet is stretched to slip it on and off).


4. Tie a knot into each end of the leather close to the beads, and then tie the two ends of the leather together leaving a big enough gap in the leather to allow the bracelet to be taken on and off easily.


5. Trim the leather if necessary.
