Good morning and happy Monday! You may remember I promised to show you a few 10-minute-or-less projects while I’m home with my babies (okay, one is a big girl, but you now what I mean) and I have a fun, simple leather wrap bracelet to show you today.
What you will need:
I will leave links to the supplies I used for this project in case you want to check them out for yourself. These are not affiliate links; I don’t get anything if you decide to make a purchase – but because so often readers ask where to find certain specialty supplies, I want to share where these came from. I haven’t seem most of these in craft stores. (And thank you Goody Beads for the care package!)
- 13 inches (or more!) of 5mm leather – you want approximately 6.5 inches of length for each wrap. This is a double-wrap bracelet, so I used 13 inches.
- Beads with 5mm holes (I especially love these beads you can attach a charm to) – I used a mix of metal and ceramic beads
- 5mm End Cap Clasp Set
- Jewelry Glue
I used about a half dozen beads for each wrap. That was enough to give it a minimalist look – you can certainly use more or less beads for whatever look you enjoy.
Then – just glue on the end caps! These caps will clasp together and don’t need any additional findings.
Then, I attached a small butterfly charm to the bead with the ring to add a little something extra – and it’s ready for wear!
The end result is a really simple bracelet perfect for fall! What are you making for your back-to-school wardrobe?
Great bracelet projects, but no if you want to use Goody Beads, & you live outside of the US….they have no contact details other than a phone number or a snail mail address…pity, ‘cos I liked some of their stock, but they make it difficult to ask them a question….I like an instant contact, email….wish I’d found out before & spent about half an hour bookmarking each page back to the individual projects!! A good lesson for next time….
Not your fault, I’m just having a bit of a whinge!! lol…No doubt I can find similar beads from Firestone Beads, or Artbeads, or Allfree etc….all who export to Australia…
Anyhoo, I loved your designs, gave me some ideas….a lot of designs that people share work out to be very expensive, after you’ve sourced the components….
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, many thanks to you……
May the Force be With you!!

I love these bracelets!
I love the leather/metal look of this bracelet!
Love the look of this!
This is so cute! I should so try this. My wrists are really tiny and I can never find cute bracelets to fit. Great project, Adrianne!

The butterfly accent really makes this bracelet!
That is darling! My 25 yr. old daughter loves butterflies. She would think I was so cool if I made it for her (and of course I wold borrow it from time to time). Saving this!
This is so pretty, Adrianne! Absolutely perfect for fall. And I can’t believe how easy it was to get this gorgeous look! Hope you have a wonderful week!
