Braided Bracelet

So after finally figuring out the instructions and pictures for making the braided bracelets, I made my first attempt, using 1mm leather cord. Not a bad attempt overall although I did muck up the first part of the braid.



As you can see it doesn't look too bad. However when it came to finishing off the braid and glueing down the ends it went a tad wrong, I glued it on the wrong side - the front and not the inside, woops. You can see the boo-boo (and the not so good attempt at glueing the ends down)in the next photo with the clasp attached which I have now salvaged for the next one as long as that one works that is.



After my mishap I decided to try it with slightly thicker 2mm cord in different colours:



If your wondering what the orange clip is that you can just about see its a keyring clip I have hung off a pin on the wall with the braid clipped in so that it holds the braid vertically and flat against the wall for me.
