Mystery Braid Wrist Band for Electronics Enthusiast With Ribbon Cable

This is a spinoff for a very famous concept called a mystery braid. Leather strip is braided in such a way that the braid is incorporated into a leather strip which is closed at both ends. I learned making that the hard way. Here I am making this with electronics enthusiast's favorite product the ribbon cable. Made a wrist band with it. I totally loved the output. Hope you like it too.

Not much tools are required. Just a ribbon cable scissors, cutters, end clips (I am using magnets)

Measure your wrist or what ever thing you want the mystery braid for. Take 1 inch extra and cut the ribbon cable.

Make slits to separate the cable into 3 parts. I am using a 10 wire cable so I cut it into wires of 3,4,3. If you have a cable of 12 wires you can have 4,4,4 strips. Make sure the strips are not separated at the ends. Leave an inch from each end.

Follow this video to make the braid. I am also adding the video from where I learnt the method. Make sure the wires don't twist or the beauty of the braid will be disturbed.

I glued 2 magnets to the ends with drops of super glue. You can use other things too. Recommendations are jewelry end caps.

You are done. Flaunt your creation.
