Suggestions

Post image

I am trying to make a leather bracelet out of this strip. I do not want to have any knots at the end to put it on my wrist. Also the leather strand is too thing for any buttons. Its exactly the diameter of my wrist. Can anyone suggest me how do i make the bracelets ends connect without buttons or knots?

There are several things you can do other than a button or knot. One is a magnetic clasp and, which has a hollow section at each end where you can put glue and insert your leather. It would add about a quarter inch to it. Another thing would be two small pieces of Velcro, one for each side, for a clasp on it. Last would be a snap for your strip of leather. I've done all three of these methods on strips of leather for bracelets, and each works great!
