Making leather bracelets is a relatively simple activity provided you have the right materials. In general, you need scraps of rigid and rather thick leather, strong glue, a cutter or a pair of scissors, a clasp, a ring and flat pliers. The scraps of leather can be replaced by straps or leather laces depending on the desired result. To make message leather bracelets, all you need to do is add leather stamps and a hammer. Supplies can be found in craft stores, haberdasheries or on the Internet.
To make your own leather strap, the first step is to measure and cut the leather. To get the right measurement, you need to wrap your leather strap around your wrist and add between 1.5 and 3 cm depending on the desired result. Your bracelet will be more or less tight. You then need to prepare the prong tips, attaching a simple ring on one side and a clasp on the other. Remember to press each claw end of the leather strip using the flat pliers. That's it ! This is the simple, fast and effective way to create a leather bracelet. But first, the most important thing is to know the kind of leather strap you want (if you see it thin or wider depending on your morphology) and the color in which you want it. You don't have to make a black bracelet. Many colors are indeed available such as blue, pink, burgundy, brown, camel, etc. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily add sophistication to your bracelet by adding elements to it.
There are many types of leather bracelets that can be made quite easily. The advantage is to be able to make one totally in your style and your desires. You can make a leather bracelet with beads that you can close just by tying a knot or you can make a braided leather bracelet. For this, the main thing is to have three straps (for a bohemian style) or three laces (for more chic). It's up to you whether you want one color, two or three. You can also make a leather cuff (if you have a large piece of leather). For a rock side, you can also make your own studded bracelet. You can opt for the nails of your choice, put them everywhere or only in certain places. Another very trendy idea is to make leather message bracelets. You can enter a first name, a nickname or the word of your choice. What better way to offer them on certain occasions, such as a birthday? However, this requires rigor and precision to get a message written in the straightest way possible.
