How to do it
1 Mark on the back of the leather strap where you want the holes for the metal studs.
2 Make holes in the leather strap with revolving hole punch pliers. NB: the same size as the diameter of the metal studs.
3 Separate each of the two-part metal studs. Fix the metal studs into the holes on the strap.
4 Pull a spacer bead onto the leather strap. You may secure it with a small blob of glue on the back of the leather strap.
5 Make a hole with revolving hole punch pliers at one end of the leather strap. Fix a metal stud into the hole for fastening. Make a couple of holes (or more) at the other end to make the size of the bracelet more flexible.
