Want to give some edge to your wrist-wear? Make this leather beaded bracelet
This bracelet is simple to make but it has a brilliant impact! Made with some black leather cord and some beautiful beads of your choice this bracelet makes a statement. This tutorial is similar to the suede bracelet, but makes use of round leather cord for a cool look.
You will need the following tools and materials to make this leather beaded bracelet:
1: Pliers. You will need your flat nose pliers and cutting pliers (to cut your leather to length).
2: A piece of leather cord long enough to fit around your wrist. The crimp ends and clasp will add some extra length.
3: Two leather crimp ends.
4: Two jump rings.
5: A toggle clasp.
6: Beads of your choice. I used these jade beads. Make sure the beads you choose have a hole large enough to fit on the leather cord.
Follow these steps to make your leather bracelet:
1: Add the beads to the piece of leather.
2: Place a crimp end on one end of the piece of leather.
4: Squash the first side of the crimp using the flat nose pliers.
5: Squash the other side of the crimp end using the flat nose pliers.
6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other side of bracelet.
7: Add a jump ring to one end of the bracelet.
8: Slide one part of the toggle clasp onto the jump ring and secure the clasp in place by closing it using your pliers.
9: Repeat step 8 for the other side of the bracelet.
10: Once the clasp is in place your bracelet is finished! Wear and enjoy.
