1. Cut a 36 inch piece of 1.2mm round Greek leather cord.
2. String the cord through the button's shank. Bring the button to the center of the cord, making sure the two sides are even.
3. Hold the cord together and tie an overhand knot just below the button.
4. Pull cord to tighten the knot.
5. String one Miyuki 5/0 seed bead (E) onto the left cord.
6. String one 6mm soldered ring onto both cords.
7. String one E bead onto the right cord.
8. Repeat step 6.
9. Repeat steps 5-7.
10. Continue in this way until the desired length is reached, keeping in mind the closure will add approximately one inch. Tie an overhand knot just below the last E bead.
11. Tie a second overhand knot 3/4 of an inch from the first. Be sure the space between the two knots will accommodate the button.
12. Tie a knot on each cord tail, making them slightly offset.
13. String one E bead, one soldered ring, and one E bead onto each cord tail. Tie a knot just below the E beads.
14. Trim excess cord, leaving a 1/8 inch tail below the last knot.
