This colorful leather is a great structure for a wrap loom style bracelet featuring Swarovski Pearls.

Instructions

These instructions will give you an adjustable 7 inch bracelet.

Please watch our video: How to Use the Wrapit Loom by Rainbow Loom. From what you learned in the video cut off 30 inches of leather cord. String the button down towards the center and make an overhand knot as seen in the video.
Move about 6.5" down the leather and make another over hand knot. Move down another 3/4 of an inch and make another knot. Then move down another 3/4 of an inch and make another knot.
Place the bracelet into the loom as shown in the video.
Take the griffin silk and attach a twisted wire needle to the end without a needle.
Follow along with the Wrapit Loom Video to tie on the griffin silk.
Begin the beading. The first row is one 8/0 seed bead. The second row is two 8/0 seed beads and the third row is three 8/0 seed beads. For the fourth row is one 8/0 seed bead, one pearl and one 8/0 seed bead. Please note that the griffin silk will be a tight fit but will fit. This will add some nice structure to the bracelet.
Repeat the pattern of the fourth row 27 more times. Note: it may be more or less depending on the length of your bracelet.
When you have reached the end you will add a row of three 8/0 seed beads. One row of two 8/0 seed beads and the final row will be one 8/0 seed beads. Tie off the griffin silk as seen in the video.

Note: For extra security you can add a dab of glue to the final knot of the griffin silk. I recommend either E6000 or GS Hypo Cement.
