Beaded Thunderbird for Grandson

My grandson participates in Boy Scout ceremonies, so I beaded this Thunderbird wrist band for him.

I used size 8 Toho seed beads and Ultrasuede ends.  I wove with thread only for 3/8" at each end before gluing on the Ultrasuede ends. the Ultrasuede was 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" with the hole centered 1/4" from the fold.  I used Zap glue on the thread selvages and E6000 on the leather.  Let set for 24 hours. Leather string from Michael's. One G thread.
