Sandstone Z-Hook Bracelet
STEP 1
To determine bracelet size, measure wrist and add 2 inches. Trim leather strap to that length. Example: For 7-inch wrist, trim leather to 9 inches. If you like your bracelets roomy, add 2-1/2 inches.
STEP 2
Use a pencil to make a mark 1/4 inches from one end of the leather strap.
STEP 3
Thread the strap 1 inch through the closed end of the Z-Hook.
STEP 4
Fold leather over and use the leather punch to make a 2.5mm hole through both layers.
STEP 5
Place a rivet post through the holes from the back. Place a Twist spacer over the post. Cover with rivet cap. Squeeze together to engage rivet components.
STEP 6
Place bottom of post onto bench block. Place concave side of rivet setter onto cap and strike with hammer until set.
STEP 7
Repeat Steps 2 - 6 for other end of the Z-Hook, unhooking from the leather before setting the rivet.
STEP 8
To open and close the bracelet, simply slide the leather loop in and out of the open end of the Z-Hook.
STEP 9
Congratulations--you have completed a Sandstone Z-Hook Bracelet! Use additional rivets as decorative elements. Simply place as desired and repeat riveting steps to attach.
