These instructions will give you a bracelet that is approximately 7 inches. To adjust the length of the bracelet simply adjust the length of the cork. Please note that you may need to adjust the inches of cork you order.
- Cut 7 inches of cork. Slide on one skull bead. Center it on the cork at your 3 1/2 inch mark.
- Measure from the center of the skull, 1/2 inch to the right. Using the 2mm setting on the leather hole punch, punch a hole in the center of the cork. Repeat on the left side of the skull.
- Place a rivet into each hole and use the rivet setter tool to set them into place.
- From the right rivet move 5/8 inch to the right, punch another hole in the center of the cork. Repeat this step to the left.
- Slide on one studded bar bead to each side of the cork so that it passes the holes you just made.
- Place a rivet into each hole and use the rivet setter tool to set them into place.
- To add the clasp detach the two ends. Move to one end of the bracelet. Place a few drops of super new glue into the recess of one end of the clasp. Slide the cork in and press firmly. Repeat this with the the side of the clasp leaving the bracelet unclasped to dry.
