Leather Eyelet Bracelet

I was in the mood for a little leather and metal when I sat down to make today’s project.  I’ve really been enjoying adding eyelets to my projects and so I thought I’d take it a step further… and add a lot of them!  This leather cuff really doesn’t require any skills beyond hammering!

I’ll leave a few links in case you’d like to re-create this project for yourself.  A few of these links (though not all) are affiliate links, which means if you decide to make a purchase, it does benefit my blog at no extra cost!  CLicking through is totally up to you, though.  You will need:

• Bench block and hammer
• Eyelet setter
• Copper eyelets (or any finish you like)
• Leather cuff – if you choose one without holes, be sure to get a punch to add your own holes.  I also used an awl to stretch the holes just a tiny bit more.

As I mentioned, I did stretch the holes a little to make it faster to add the eyelets.  I put one in each pre-punched hole.  I used 5/32 size for this project but smaller would probably be okay.

Then, I set each eyelet with a hammer.  Just put the setter base on your bench block, add the setting tool to the top of the rivet, and tap it with your hammer a few times to set it!

If you want to, you can add a charm to one of the holes!  I love this little tree, and it matches the metal I added.

And that’s it!  Depending on how quickly you set your eyelets, this is a pretty quick project.  It took me about 15 minutes.

It’s a nice fall accessory, and I always love an excuse to bust out the hammer!  Haha.  What are you making this fall?
