How to make wrapped leather bracelets « Rings and Things
Triple-wrap leather bracelet with blue tigereye beads Let me begin by stating the obvious – this style of wrapped leather bracelet is EVERYWHERE this season. Everywhere! Even my athletic clothing catalogs – which only have maybe three pieces of jewelry – are featuring this style. Why? Because it is casual yet chic and infinitely customizable! Five different leather wrapped gemstone bracelets designs: green opal, mookaite, African turquoise, hematite and rhodonite The supply list is pretty short: 4-6mm round beads We used gemstone beads, but glass, crystal beads or pearls would also be lovely. Wrapped bracelet made with green opal gemstone beads and natural Greek leather. The technique: Choose your bracelet length and cut your leather. If your button has a small loop, you might need to miter (angle) the leather end and pull it through with pliers. Other design options: Have fun creating your own wrapped bracelets! Need supplies?

: Clarissa Tutorial : ClarissaLevel : Beginner to Intermediate Clarissa is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Equipments- Czech twin seed beads- Czech fired polished round 4mm- 11/0 seed beads- Clasp & Jump rings- Beading needle size 12 (or 10, I can't remember. lol)- SoNo or Nymo or fireline or your favorite thread. I made this bracelet using the free twin beads, sent to Thailand directly from Czech Republic. EDIT: The free campaign is over now. With bead stitch, I prefer SoNo over Nymo. I got this beautiful clasp from Valerie. Cut the thread around 100 cm. Pass your needle to the first 11/0 seed bead to form a ring. Add one 11/0 seed bead, one 4mm fire polished, and one 11/0 seed bead. Repeat step 3 around the ring. We will continue with another layer. String one twin bead, one 11/0 seed bead, one twin bead, one 11/0 seed bead and one twin bead. Add one 11/0 seed bead (red arrow). Sew to the next twin bead. Repeat step 8 and 9.
