DIY Magic Mystery Braid Bracelet Tutorial

Learn to make a leather bracelet using the 3-part inside trick braid (also known as the 'magic braid' or 'mystery braid).

I share a formula to help you figure out how to size your bracelet (which seems like a bit of a mystery in itself), and go through all of the steps in detail including cutting the leather, braiding the leather, and attaching a snap clasp to finish your new awesome bracelet!
