Each three-wrap bracelet has almost exactly the same patterning, beads, and design. The major change between all three is that I changed the leather and thread colors for each. In the grey version--since this one is for me, personally-- I shortened the patterns in a couple spots and shortened the second wrap of 6/0s considerably because my wrist is much smaller than an average wrist. I also used Little Shadows in Antique Silver instead of Silver Plate, and I switched the 6/0s in the middle wrap.
Another change, I had to change up my leather tails on the white version, I inadvertently used 1.5mm leather instead of the 1.0 I intended to use, so 6/0s didn't fit on to decorate the tails. I used White C-Lon to make a couple silk wraps around the button hole instead of knots and long tails. The ingredients list below links to all 1mm leathers despite that I used 1.5 on that one, since it was not intentional!
