The caps I recommended have a hole in the bottom, which makes them really versatile! You can use them in the middle of your design if you’re mixing beads, too, or you can just glue it on the end. When you have the length you want, cut the wire as close to the ends of the leather as you can, and glue on end caps. The braided leather has a small hole that’s quite easy to string, and the stitched leather (and cork – you can use cork cord, too) has a cord center but you can slip the wire between the core and the stitched casing. It gives you two wraps at that length, with enough overlap that it looks like three on one side.Ĭut about 3 wraps off your coil of memory wire (and they make specialty shears for memory wire, because it’s hardened) and feed it through the center.

You can make these bracelets any length! I’d recommend at least 10 inches so that you have one full wrap and a bit of overlap, but I love the 18-inch length (probably more like 16 inches if you’re using the small sized wire). More errors than I would have expected, actually, for such a simple design. The longer the length, the more difficult it will be to feed the wire through. Stitched cord is more difficult to string, so I would not recommend attempting to string a length any longer than 10 or 12 inches. You can only use braided or stitched 5mm leather cord for this project to work. Now, before we get started I want to mention that if you’re looking for some other colors and textures, you can browse a whole collection and see more of what inspired me at Goody Beads.

(This, of course, is how I afford to go shopping for whatever is new and hot to show you how to make it yourself… so it’s win-win!) ) If you decide to make a purchase, that’s a great way to support my jewelry addiction my free tutorials because I get a small commission when you use these links to do your shopping – all at no extra cost to you. I will list the supplies I used for these two fabulous bangles below, along with affiliate links where you can find the supplies on Goody Beads. Memory wire requires no clasps, so just wrap them on or stack them! I went for autumn colors since the end of summer is approaching, but you can use bright colors, pastels, black and white… you get the idea! I used the same technique for both bracelets, and as you can see, they look totally different! You really have a lot of options for making your own style – you can opt for leather by itself, or add beads for a pretty mixed media look. That’s not always the case when it comes to jewelry – and would you be surprised if I told you, you can make these up in just 10 minutes?

I decided to share them with you after a little trial and error on my end, especially because they’re sooo pretty, and they don’t require much in the way of tools and supplies. I had to make them! They didn’t have any instructions, but they were pretty easy to make. So last time I was shopping Goody Beads (which happens wayyy more often than I care to admit, haha) I spotted some gorgeous DIY leather bracelets in their inspiration area.
