Step 2

Using your 2-hole helicopter punch, punch a hole in cuff at the back to attach wooly wire.

Step 3

Spread adhesive on backside of cuff where the leather will come into contact.

Step 4

Wrap 10mm deertan leather lace around the cuff 6-7 times pressing securely onto back as you wrap.

Step 5

String WoolyWire through hole punched earlier, pulling about 1" through hole. Take the coil and wrap around the end of the cuff a few times. Using the 1" length that was pulled through the hole, bind up the WoolyWire that you wrapped around the end. Continue wrapping towards the top of the cuff.

Step 6

Once your wrapping gets to the leather lace, string on your teardrops. Continue wrapping, making sure to pull securely around with each wrap.

Step 7

I bundled a row of 5 teardrops snugly together, then wrapped the WoolyWire a bit more before adding one final teardrop.

Step 8

Take your 3 lengths of 1.5mm leather cord and wrap each in different places along the side of the cuff, working the placement in with the WoolyWire. Make sure to add a touch of adhesive to your knots.
