Recommended Posts

Take your (1") wide leather bracelets and a stitch groover set for 1/3 the width

And make two equidistant grooves.

For a cleaner look "stop" the groves w/ punched holes

Cut through the groves and you are good to go!

Luke, none of this would have been possible without your scraps!

I actually use your gesture as a talking point with the kids...
