Leather Cords For Bracelets

 

Leather is a flexible, tough, and versatile material. It is relatively waterproof. It is breathable and it allows air and water vapor to pass through.

For the quality assessment of leather, factors such as density and tensile strength, light resistance, and shrinkage are crucial. Chemical parameters such as fat content, wet shrinkage temperature, tannin, and acid content, are also important.

Leather cords from EM ART are suitable for making jewelry and other accessories. We have also prepared a guide on using our various leather cords.

 

How to Make Leather Bracelets?

 

Handmade jewelry is trendy these days. You don’t need special skills; there are many ways to create beautiful jewelry yourself in just a few simple steps. How can you make leather bracelets with your own hands in different techniques?

 

Materials Needed

 

The primary material—leather cords—depends on the chosen technique. You can make elegant woven bracelets with leather cord. Accessories such as fasteners, rivets, and some decorative elements are also needed.

You can use scraps from old jewelry—beads, chain fragments, crystals, and more. To make leather bracelets with your own hands, you will also need some tools.

You’ll need a sharp knife or scissors to give the leather the desired shape. Needles, wire cutters,, and other tools may also be helpful, depending on the materials used.

To create a braided bracelet, you will need three pieces of leather cord. Attach them and weave a classic braid. Secure the ends, sew them, or fasten the bracelet using other fasteners.

Another method is to take a wide strip of leather, cut it into three parts in the middle, but leave it whole at the ends. Then braid these three separate parts as if you’re twisting the elements of the strip inside.

It is much easier to attach fasteners to the decoration made with this technique, and the weaving will be more even. You can further decorate the bracelet with metal pendants or other decorative elements.

Making jewelry takes just minutes. Using this technique, you can create both women’s and men’s leather bracelets.

 

Jewelry Making:

 

Jewelry making is an interesting and creative activity. You don’t need to be a master; sometimes a picture is enough to spark an idea for crafting a unique bracelet for yourself or to give as a gift to a loved one.

Often, leather cord bracelets use pendants and connectors. Use a flat leather cord and a connecting ring.

The fastening button is attached with the help of connecting rings about 4-5 mm in size to the ribbon and cord trailer: Choose the accessories used for the bracelets carefully and set the style and mood of the jewelry piece.

Browse EM ART and choose the leather chords in the desired color. Create simple, beautiful bracelets with us! Combine different types of cords, add metal pendants or beads.

Another type of bracelet made from leather cords is the "pigtail" method. You can use different types of leather cords. The usual brown and black colors are suitable for various styles of clothing, while the more colorful ones are suitable for the summer season.

A more complex but accessible way to create your accessory is to make a wide bracelet in the style of a strap or wristband.

Fasteners or buttons can serve as closures. On a solid piece of leather and rivets, spikes are glued or attached, and holes are made, through which leather cords can be threaded for decoration.

 

Men’s Bracelets

 

Men’s leather bracelets are characterized by their simplicity and compactness. Often, rivets, spikes, or weaving patterns become the maximum decoration for such jewelry.

Now, you will try to make a woven men’s leather bracelet with your own hands. You will need a piece of leather 5 cm wide and about 20 cm long.

• Draw the product pattern on the back of the leather. The length of the bracelet should be at least 19 cm. In the middle, make 2 cuts that do not reach the edges by 1.5-2 cm. Place the workpiece vertically and mentally or using a washable pencil, number the cords from one to three. Pull the lower edge of the bracelet between the 2nd and 3rd cords.

• Straighten the cords as the weaving progresses. Continue weaving in the following order: the first cord with the second, the third with the first, and the second with the third.

• Adjust the cords again so that the lines fall to the bottom of the workpiece in the correct order—first, second, and third cord.

• Shape the ends of the bracelet as desired and punch holes with an awl.

• Set the bracelet aside. For the closure, glue several flaps together and let it dry for a day. When the piece is dry, round off the edges, make a hole in the middle, and smooth out any roughness with the leather.
• Thread a thin leather cord through the holes in the bracelet. Pull both ends through the resulting leather loop. Tie the ends of the lace in knots.

• The weaving is quite simple to execute - you can master it on the first try.
• The jewelry will make a welcome gift for your man. These bracelets fit perfectly into a casual style. High-quality workmanship will match classic style suits if you’re heading to an informal meeting. At a gala event, it’s better to appear without a bracelet.

 

Children’s Bracelets

 

Children love to imitate adults by wearing their parents’ clothes. Make some fashionable leather bracelets with a bright design that will attract children. Such bracelets can compete in popularity even with the famous rubber band bracelets.

You will need a long, thin leather cord and bright threads of yarn. This jewelry is universal—depending on the colors of the threads you choose, it can be given to both girls and boys.

• Wrap the bracelet around your wrist twice and add allowances for tying. Cut the measured length.
• Secure the cord with tape. About 5 cm away, drop some glue and attach the first color to the thread. Keep wrapping the thread around the cord until you reach the required distance. Add another drop of glue and secure this thread.

• Start wrapping the bracelet with a thread of a different color. Continue alternating colors until you have wrapped about 5 cm of the bracelet. Secure the last thread with a needle and glue.

• Leave the cord around the other side. The knot should be tight, but the cord should pass through it freely.

• Repeat the previous steps on the other side of the cord and tie the cord again.

• To make it easier to tie strong knots on a leather cord, dampen it with warm water and knead it well to soften and make it elastic.
• Children can easily wear such jewelry to kindergarten, school, or on a walk. And thanks to the bright design, the bracelets suit any children’s outfit. But with elegant dresses and formal suits, it’s better not to wear them.
