Round 2: First Cluster Round

Assembly Instructions
Adding the Wrist Strap
- Make a Romanian cord or braided cord 4 cm longer than your wrist full circumference.
- Attach the cord to the edge of the card holder using a small metal ring or jump ring
- Secure with knots or by sewing through the crochet fabric
Creating the Closure
Option 1: Button Closure
- Ch 15 to create a button loop
- Attach the chain loop to the middle of one side of the card holder
- Sew a button on the opposite side, positioned to align with the loop
Option 2: Magnetic Snap
- Install a magnetic snap button on both sides of the opening
- This provides a more secure closure and easier access
