  Step 1

  * scraps of leather
  * E-6000 glue
  * craft stick
  * 2 - 20 mm pinch crimp end
  * 2 - 280 6mm jump rings
  * 1 - 12 mm lobster clasp

  * template

• 

  Step 2

  apply the glue generously on the wrong side of the leather

• 

  Step 3

  spread the glue with the craft stick leaving just a thin layer

• 

  Step 4

  place the second layer of leather (wrong sides in) onto the glued parts
  (make sure to have the leather perfectly smooth,
  without bubbles nor bumps)

• 

  Step 5

  draw the template on the wrong side of the leather

• 

  Step 6

  cut the shapes carefully

• 

  Step 7

  For tutorial purpose only (but I kind of like it this way as well) I'll use one part on the right side and one on the wrong side.
  Place the two round parts facing each other and one on top of each other.

• 

  Step 8

  The illusion knot will be ready in three moves:

  Follow the picture #1

• 

  Step 9

  #2

• 

  Step 10

  #3 done!
  now adjust by pulling the straight parts.

• 

  Step 11

  Measure around your wrist and cut to size.
  Place the ends into the crimp ends and squeeze with the pliers.
  I always wrap some painter's tape around the pliers so I won't leave marks on the metal.

That looks really good Do you ever have trouble with the 2 pieces slipping towards each other though, 'tightening' the knot (and loosening the bracelet)?
