Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

  1. First, determine how long your want your finished bracelet to be. Standard sizes are about 7 to 8 inches. Your clasp will add about 2 inches, so subtract 2 inches from your desired length and cut your faux snakeskin cord to this length.
  2. Determine the placement for your infinity link rivetable bar and attach it the same way demonstrated in this video: How to Use TierraCast Compression Rivets With Leather and Alternative Cords. Just repeat the process for each of the holes in your link.
  3. Now attach the cord end tips as demonstrated in this video: How to Attach TierraCast Strap End Tips to Leather & Alternative Cords.
  4. Open a jump ring and thread it through one of your cord end tip loops and through the loop on a classic hook clasp; close the ring.
  5. Open a jump ring and thread it through the loop on the other cord end tip and through a small connector link ring; close the ring.
