I love the look of leather and rhinestones.
Tutorial
Things you need
- Scrap leather
- Snaps* Michaels in the leather section or HERE
- Rhinestones * Michaels in the leather section or HERE
- Leather Hole Punch *Michaels or HERE
- Pencil.
Cut a strip of leather 1 inch wide by 8 inches long.
or measure your wrist to get a measurement for you..make sure the leather over laps about a inch.
Use your hole punch and punch a hole on each end
Following the snap instructions attach your snaps.
Make sure your snap fits, and it does not hang over. *I measure about a 1/2 of an inch in.
Mark where you want to put your rhinestones. * Start in the middle and work your way to the end.
I marked mine almost an inch apart.
Punch your holes.
Put your rhinestone through the hole.
Turn it over and put the back on.
Then lightly tap with a hammer to lock it into place.
I am going to stress lightly.
New Bracelet.
Happy Thursday.
I hope your Halloween was Spooky and wonderful.
Lots of <3,
Anne
These would make really great gifts (if I could somehow get the measurements of a few people's wrists)since I'm already starting on holiday gifts! You could change the leather and rhinestone color to match the tastes of the recipient. Posted the top photo and a link back to your blog on Trueblue.
