Magic braid

I’ve been fascinated for years with the magic braid done with leather where both ends of the braid are uncut. I found a good tutorial that uses reclaimed leather, and I had to try it.

I did not make these into bracelets as in the tutorial, but into key chain fobs, by folding them in half and adding a clip.
