How many times do you open up a magazine and see photographs of adventurer type models wearing simple, but chic leather jewelry? I see it quite often when I’m thumbing through the usual magazines at check out while I’m shopping. It’s easy to see why these types of bracelets are oh, so trendy. They’re simple, stackable and easy to customize! Plus leather is pretty durable if you’re like me – a little too hard on your jewelry.
I’m going to show you just how easy it is to make this bracelet in a few photographs!
Here’s what you will need:
- 1/2″ Leather Cuff Bracelet
- Mixed Stone Beads
- Beadalon Wire, 49 Strand
- 3mm Cornerless Cube Beads
- Beaded Spacer Beads
- 2mm Crimp Bead
- 3.2mm Crimp Covers
- Two Hole Metal Punch
- Crimping Pliers
- Scissors
2021 UPDATE: Sadly, Rings & Things no longer carries the double-drilled “watchband” gemstone beads (does anyone still wear an actual wristwatch?). But that doesn’t mean that we don’t still love the idea of combining a modified leather cuff with gemstone beads. You can make this bracelet by combining multiple strands of smaller gemstone beads and still be just as trendy as the original was in 2012!
