Plaiting

[Dolphini]

I would love to know how to create a plaited item, belt or bracelet WITHOUT having to cut through the ends.

I saw it once but cannot work out how to do it without cutting right through end and having to rejoin it somehow.

Can anyone tell me?

Hi - I think you are referring to a "mystery braid" or "trick braid". Bruce Grant has a book called "Leather Braiding". That book has the how-to instructions. Hope this helps!

When I make the final pass I have the bottom piece wet and cut to oversize with a punched hole and a cord through it to pull with because it is very tight.
