Step by step, lets continue;

You do not need baleen or ivory, you can use any material, But anyone can purchase ivory & baleen @ Alaska Fur Exchange in Anchorage.

Ivory bracelet w/baleen lines inset into the ivory.

Draw the shape, (on any material) smooth out the edges to match the template shape, now repeat 10 times.

Bracelets can be made using any amount of pieces begining with 8,9,10. It all depends on the shape & the size of the wrist.

Do you know how long it is going to take you to become an expert? At making simple shapes ??

Once you have the required amount of pieces and the edges are all smooth, now it is time to draw lines on the pieces so that we can drill the holes to string up the bracelet properly.

The next photo in the next post will show you how to wrap the piece of cardboard around the piece to draw lines on each side of the piece of cardboard template.
