MATERIALS NEEDED
beige silk thread (22 metres)
2mm faceted rose gold nuggets (277 pieces)
sterling silver oval button (1)
1.5mm tota leather cord (7 feet)
clipboard
2.125 inch big eye needle
Estimated duration: 4-8 hours
Estimated cost for materials: USD32.00
STEP 1: TENSION & PLACEMENT
Secure the leather cord with the button onto the clipboard. I did mine with the button facing left and the loose ends of the leather cord facing right. With the leather cord laying across horizontally and secured to the clipboard, you'll have more control and tension when threading the nuggets.

STEP 2: POSITION OF 1ST NUGGET
Thread the bottom leather cord through the silk thread loop. Tighten the silk thread loop around the cord about 5-10mm away from the back of the button.
STEP 3: THREADING TECHNIQUE
Thread the rose gold nuggets onto the cord in a figure-8 method till complete.
For illustration only. Materials not exact.
To do so, simply start by threading the silk threads through a rose gold nugget (1st time).
Bring the silk threads behind the top leather cord and thread through the nugget (2nd time) again, so that the silk threads loop around the top leather cord. As soon as your needle is through the nugget for the 2nd time, bring the silk threads behind the bottom leather cord.
By doing so, you'll tighten the silk thread looping around the top leather cord in a figure-8 method that ensures the nugget is seated center to both top and bottom cords.
Repeat this step till you've finished all the nuggets.
TIPS FOR TENSION WHEN DOING STEP 3:
What I like to do, is to make sure the nugget sits as close as possible to the bottom cord before I tighten the silk threads that loop around the top leather cord.
While tightening the silk threads that loop around the top leather cord, I'll also pull the cords taut. So if you were to look at this action for top view, the leather cord will be perpendicular to the top of the clipboard (where the button is secured to), and the silk threads are perpendicular to the leather cord. This way, I'll definitely get a straight bracelet rather than a curvy one.
