Slide of the Month Extra: Turks Head with beads

March 2024

Time to make: .5 hour

Finishing: hour

Original design: Bill Macfarlane

I was going through a box the other day and I found a length of leather cord. Not to let it go to waste I quickly tied a turks head slide. Since I had extra on each side I thought why not add some beads to it. Quick and easy slide.
