Here’s how to make a cool adjustable leather bracelet with gemstone beads on it.
This is so cool! No metal fixings required. All you need are some great gemstone beads and some leather cord. I love this because it is adjustable so it can fit different sized wrists. It could even double as an anklet!

You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your bracelet:
1: A length of 1.2mm thick leather cord. Approx 2.5x the length required to fit around your wrist.
You can get some here:
2: Some cutting pliers or scissors for cutting the cord.

3: Beads with holes big enough to fit on your cord. I used a flat oval jasper bead and a round green agate bead.

Follow these steps to make your bracelet:
1: Add the beads to the cord.
2: Now it is time to create the first sliding knot.
3: Take the left side of the cord and cross it over the right side.
4: Loop the end over the cord and around it.
5: Create another loop to the left of the first one.
6: Poke the end of the cord through the loops and pull them tight.
7: Repeat steps 3-6 for the other side. If you’re finding it tricky, it can help to flip your work so that you are working on the same side as the first knot… that’s what I did 😉
8: Once you have both knots in place, you can now adjust your bracelet to the desired size. I left the ends of my cord poking out, but you can trim them if you like.
Now your bracelet is ready to wear! How simple but effective? I love it.
