Need something funky for your wrist stack? Make this sweet suede bracelet

I’m really into creating accessories with leather and suede at the moment, leather bracelets are easy to make and they look really cool. Leather is the perfect accompaniment for stunning decorative beads. For my bracelet I decided to show off this pretty glass bead that has a cool cracked effect.

You will need the following tools and materials to make this simple suede bracelet:

1: Pliers. To make this bracelet you will need your cutting pliers and flat nose pliers.

2: A piece of suede jewelry cord.

3: Two silver colored leather crimp ends.

4: Two silver colored jump rings.

5: One silver colored lobster clasp.

6: A bead of your choice, make sure that it has a hole big enough to fit on the suede strand. I used this clear cracked glass bead.

Follow these steps to make this bracelet:

1: Cut your piece of suede to length using the cutting pliers. Make sure that it will fit comfortably around your wrist without being too big.

2: Add your chosen beads to the piece of suede.

3: Take one of the crimp ends to one end of the suede. Make sure it lines up properly before you squash it in place.

4: Use the flat nose pliers to squash one side of the crimp end in place.

5: Repeat step 4 for the other side of the crimp so that both ends have have been folded flat.

6: Add a jump ring to one end of the bracelet, close it with pliers to secure it in place.

7: Add another jump ring to the other end of the bracelet and add the lobster clasp. Secure the lobster clasp in place by closing the jump ring with your pliers.

8: Once your lobster clasp has been secured in place your bracelet is ready to wear. Stack it up with your fave bracelets for a fresh, cool look.
