DIY: Leather Wrap Bracelets

I've become completely obsessed with DIY projects and after my latest DIY Glitter Shoes I decided to take on jewelry. While browsing Honestly...WTF I came upon a DIY tutorial for leather wrap bracelets and decided to attempt them on my own. My version varies slightly but it's the same general idea.

You’ll need (for a double wrapped bracelet):

  • 40 inches of 1.5mm or 2mm leather cord (pick a neutral color)
  • 12 inches of crystal chain
  • 60 inches of waxed cotton cord (pick a bright color)
  • a 1/4″ brass hex nut (I bought a pack of four at a hardware store)
  • a pair of scissors
All of these supplies can be found in the jewelry/beading section of the craft store, minus the hex nut. 

Since I got a lot of great feedback from my viewers on YouTube saying that they wanted to see a video for how to make the bracelets I just decided to film one instead of writing a blog post. Also don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel! I'm nearing 6,000 subscribers!


Also! Happy Halloween! =D

This charming bracelet can also have a set of dangling charms which the wearer could either pick one by one or as a set.
