DIY Beaded Leather Bracelet


Hi everybody! 
Here is my first DIY post, made by me, so cut me some slack please.
As the title goes, its for a beaded leather bracelet.

You'll need:
- A piece of leather
- Beads
- A glue gun or any strong glue
- Needle and thread
- Snap closure or velcro


Step 1.
Cut a 1.5 inch by 7 inch piece of leather.


Step 2.
Mark the middle so you know where to sew the beads.
I folded it but I think its better to just draw a line on the wrong side, because later on I realized that the fold like stays there.


Step 3.
Sew the beads down the middle, the proximity of them depends on your preference. 




This is what it looks like from the wrong side.


Step 4.

Apply some glue on to the wrong side of the piece of leather and fold the sides onto the middle.


After gluing it should look like this.

Step 5.

Add a snap or any other type of closure to secure your bracelet.
I used velcro, which I had in hand, but for the next ones I'll use a snap closure because its much safer.

Step 6.

Wear it, because you're done!


I like how the bracelets add another dimension to my arm parties.


I made a black one with the beads closer together. I think I like it better.

I hope you enjoyed this DIY,

Have an awesome week!
