Step 3: When about half of the total string you wish to use is braided, thread your charm through one of the strands.
*If your charm has a smaller hole and the leather doesn't fit through, I recommend using craft string. Think of the craft string as being a part of one of the leather strands and braid as normal. Then you can thread the charm through the craft string.
Step 4: Continue braiding.
Step 5: When your bracelet is as long as you want it to be, tie a knot at the end of the braid and then cut off any excess string.
That's it! You have a homemade bracelet.
You may also choose to trim the ends of your knots, but I choose to keep them to preserve a boho feel to the bracelet.
This bracelet can be looped three times around because I used the full length of the leather string. The length is up to you!
This bracelet is also an example of a charm that had a smaller hole. I used pink craft string and braided the bracelet as usual, just keeping the pink string with the brown leather and then lacing through the elephant charm.
My bracelet philosophy: the more the merrier!
