Saturday Crafternoon

I like to use leather cord for my stained glass art. I had a scrap laying around and thought it would look cool with some extra knotting. I think I will use this for a sun catcher. It's a super simple process, and below is how to make it into a bracelet.

Sometimes I need a fun quick project.

Warning Sad:

We had been on high alert with our kitty Bagheera. He was diagnosed with cancer in early November, and we knew our time with him was extremely limited. It's like I've been pushing through life waiting for the other shoe to drop with our cat Bagheera, and for a time, everything seemed pretty normal. I may have gotten a little too hyped for the new year, I had a new work schedule coming, I could spend more time making art, with friends, and just doing stuff I enjoy.

Well work started out a little more involved than I had expected; then the other shoe dropped, and we said good bye to our little buddy. Around that same time, the capitol was stormed. Man. Talk about a start to the year. It's been sad and a lot of other emotions, but I'm taking it moment by moment and conversation by conversation.

.:On to the craft at hand:.

Its basically crocheting a chain stitch without a crochet hook. I used 1.8mm natural rawhide leather cord.

You create a loop, feed the line through the loop, tightening as you go, and keep repeating.

Keep going until you reach your desired length.

When ready to end it you pull the tail through the loop.

If you would like to turn it into a bracelet just leave extra length on the ends and tie square knots around each line line below:

Ta-da! Bracelet!

A fun project can feel like a little win and a little win can help sometimes.
