I’m so excited to share this D.I.Y. with you today! If you love the look of geometric bracelets this season, this one is for you. Emma and I have a deep love for our local leather store and as a result, have a giant stash of leather scraps. This project is fun to create and a great gift idea!
1-2. Cut strips of leather that are 1-2 inches longer than your wrist size. Mine were about 1.5 inches wide. You can also use high quality faux leather or vinyl for a vegan option. 3. Paint geometric designs. Have fun experimenting! This was my favorite step and I can’t wait to paint more. I used this Martha Stewart Paint. It works for many surfaces and is great with leather. It’s my new favorite craft paint. 4. Finish off your designs with a second coat of paint and allow to dry.
Here’s what you need to attach a snap to your bracelet. You’ll need snap hardware (can find this in any craft store in the sewing section), a hammer, and a hole punch tool.
5. Put the snap on one side and then use it to measure where you want to punch the hole for your second snap. Follow the instructions on the snap hardware package to attach your snaps. It’s super easy once you get the hang of it!
This is Emma’s pretty creation. She used some glitter paint on hers.
These bracelets make great gifts. They are fun to personalize and make with pals. Have fun creating your own special combination! xo. elsie
Love your blog. Awesome job for making the leather into fun colored diy bracelet. Great idea !
What paint color was used on Emma’s bracelet? especially the greenish mint-ish color? I would love to know~ want to go buy that color
Yes, please repost paint name, the link doesn’t go anywhere.
Thank you!

I know that this has nothing to do with the leather bracelets but I have been blog hunting recently and I was wondering what your favorite DIY blogs are. I’ve already exhausted all of the projects that you have posted and am hungry for more! Please get back to me.

Hmm… Do you have guy version of this? I like it. I’ll ask my girl to make one for me. I’m not into all things crafty, you know. Hehehe.
This is something I’m going to try!
Those leather bracelets for women are really cool. I know that my wife really likes leather bracelets, so I was going to find her a new one, but maybe I’ll and make her one! How much does making one typically cost?
that’s a great idea!! I’ll try to make it =)
