Making bracelets this is a very interesting and creative activity. You don’t always need a master class for this; sometimes a photograph is enough for an idea to pop into your head. Today I offer a selection of various models from the Internet with a short accompanying description. The models are very simple, but each idea has a useful thought. Moreover, many people really liked the last review, let’s continue the topic.

Often these bracelets use charms and connectors. The proposed version uses a flat natural leather cord and a ring connector. A button fastener with the help of connecting rings measuring approximately 4-5 mm is attached to the end for ribbons and cords:

Depending on what accessories are used for the bracelets, the style and mood of the jewelry completely changes. A few more options for example, made according to the same scheme. Waxed cord is used here, but with leather laces this bracelet will be more durable.

If the hole is too small, you can use end caps. It is better not to use connecting rings in such a place; when tensioned, they can unbend. Or take the strongest ones, small in diameter and 1-1.2 mm thick.

In our store there are a lot of connectors suitable for such bracelets: birds, fish, twigs, lizards of different colors, flowers, eyes, lips, etc.

For a large item or button, you can simply thread the cord through the holes:

In this version, the top connector is also not fixed:

For the summer, you can make a bracelet with an anchor pendant. In order not to search for a long time, I selected several pendants for example: number one, number two, number three, but in general we have a lot of them)))

History of leather jewelry: myths and truth

Leather jewelry is easy to make and very durable. Your young man will be able to wear them for many years. And every time he puts on a bracelet, he will think about you.

Bracelets, both men's and women's, have a long history of existence. Even a thousand years ago, in the north of Russia, wrist jewelry was made from birch bark. And in distant southern states they made similar products from bird feathers.

Leather bracelets do not have such a deep and ancient history. However, their story can get a little scary if you consider one thing. Now in some countries of Africa, Australia and the distant lost islands of the Pacific Ocean, aborigines living in wild primitive tribes wear very strange bracelets.

These wrist ornaments are made from tanned animal skins, as well as the dried skin of enemies. It is a symbol of strength, power and victory.

Men's leather jewelry has a rich history; they trail behind them a trail of mystery, bloody battles and furious battles. Therefore, women consider them very beautiful and sexy.

Women rarely wear this kind of accessories. They are preferred mainly by ladies who dress in a sporty style. These beauties look very good in sports jackets, jeans and sneakers. And leather jewelry suits them surprisingly.

Several video tutorials on weaving bracelets

Why are these leather bracelets the best?

They are quite simple to implement. It took us more time to write the master class than to do the work itself.

They are durable. Bracelets made according to our MK will be worn for a very long time.

They are unisex. Although we've broken the bracelets down into categories, they're all really unisex. Even men's bracelets can be made from pink leather, then they will become women's :)

Similar materials

Leather bracelets are a fairly universal accessory that has not gone out of fashion for many seasons and does not lose its popularity. It has countless varieties and shapes: flat and voluminous, wicker, with various accessories, with spikes. Leather bracelets symbolize the spirit of freedom and the rejection of all rules, because they are made with your own hands.

We sew leather bracelets with our own hands step by step in the master class

Experienced craftsmen and craftswomen know that when creating bracelets it is very important to choose the right leather material. For each of the patterns for weaving bracelets with your own hands, you need to select the appropriate type of leather material.

So, to create thick, large leather bracelets, it would be correct to give preference to a rough type of leather: saddle or crust. To create men's bracelets, saddle leather is most often used.

For the manufacture of thin, elegant woven leather accessories for women, leatherette is most suitable. This material is softer in texture and is easy to process with needles and hole punches.

Since elegant leather bracelets have become very popular, we offer several detailed descriptions of the manufacturing processes of this accessory.

Let's try to create a leather bracelet decorated with beads. To begin, prepare all the materials necessary for work:

Several pieces of leather cord that will have a length equal to the circumference of your wrist and plus a small margin for forming knots;
Clip or clothespin;
Beads for decoration;
Clasp for your bracelet.

Take your cut laces and secure one side with a clothespin or clamp. Now start stringing decorative beads onto one of the threads. Don't forget to secure them on both sides with knots. Repeat the above steps with all of your laces.

After you complete these manipulations, secure the free ends of the leather threads using the bracelet clasp. Your leather bracelet is now ready to use.

We create leather bracelets for men quickly and easily: the manufacturing process

Men's leather bracelets are distinguished by their simplicity and laconicism compared to women's ones.

We invite you to learn how to weave a simple men's leather bracelet. To work, you will need a piece of leather five centimeters wide and about twenty centimeters long.

Start making the bracelet:

Form the pattern of the product on the back of the leather. The length of the bracelet must be at least nineteen centimeters. Make two slits in the middle, not reaching the edges by 1.5-2 centimeters.
Place the workpiece vertically and, using a washable pencil, number the cords from one to three. Bring the bottom edge of the bracelet between the second and third cords.
Straighten the leather laces as you weave along. Continue weaving in the following order: the first cord with the second, the third with the first, the second with the third.
Bring the bottom of the workpiece forward between the third and second laces.
Place the cords again so that the lines go down to the bottom of the weave in the correct order - first, second, third cord.
Repeat steps two through four. You should end up with a braided look. Give the desired shape to the edges of the bracelet and use an awl to make holes.
To make the fastener, glue several pieces of leather together and leave to dry for a day. After drying, round the edges, make a hole in the middle and smooth out any rough edges with sandpaper.
Thread a thin leather cord through the holes in the bracelet. Pull both edges through the resulting leather nut. Tie the edges of the lace with knots.

This accessory will be a wonderful gift for your man and will be a pleasant and bright addition to his image.

Children love to imitate adults by decorating themselves and wearing their parents' clothes. You can please a little fashionista or fashionista and weave leather bracelets for them with your own hands, which will attract the child with a bright design. Such bracelets can compete in popularity even with well-known bracelets made from rubber bands.

For children's bracelets, it is best to use leather laces in bright and rich colors. Kids will be happy to wear such fun accessories to school and kindergarten.

At the end of our article about making leather bracelets for women, men and children, we offer you a selection of thematic videos. We hope that it will help you explore the topic we have described in even more depth. Enjoy watching!

Do-it-yourself leather weaving as a separate art form dates back to ancient times. It amazes with its sophistication and beauty. Don’t think that weaving from leather is difficult. There are many different ways of weaving leather, master classes are held on them, and there are also many different patterns by which you can weave a leather bracelet with your own hands. However, the most popular are the girl's braid, the circular braid and the single puzzle. Each of them is interesting in its own way.

You can make both a female and a male version. In order to start weaving a bracelet with such a mysterious name, you will need strips of leather approximately 4 cm wide. Before preparing the material for processing, you need to think about the length of the bracelet and add another one and a half times the length.

As the needlework progresses, the strip will become smaller (shrink), so a little more leather won't hurt. The best length is a quarter of a meter. To trim, you need to use a sharp knife, razor or scissors.

You need to make a couple of parallel cuts along the length of the strip, however, you should not cut it all the way. You can’t touch it; there should be three centimeters from the edge to the cut. The ribbon will turn into three identical parts - laces. For further work, you should number from left to right: 1, 2, 3. You need to be sure that they end on the same line.

First of all you should prepare your work area. It should be perfectly smooth. As a last resort, you can put a plastic or wooden board on the table. To process leather strips, it is allowed to use a construction knife with a replaceable blade, tailor's scissors or stationery knives.

Before you start weaving, you need to secure one end of the strip. To do this, you can take a clamp, press the strip with something heavy, or even nail it with a hammer and nail. Now we can begin. It is necessary to pull the bottom of the strip in your direction, and then thread it to the bottom of the future decoration between the second and third stripes and return it to its original state.

For a more comfortable process, it is better to twist the three laces (make bundles), this will be much easier. To make sure that the weaving goes in the right direction, you should pay attention to the middle of the bracelet.

In the middle of a correctly executed decoration there is a knot. However, the resulting braid should not be too tight.

The first lace is placed under the third.
Thread the third lace through the first.
Thread the second lace through the third. There should be a distance between them at the bottom of the bracelet.
Again you need to pull the solid end of the leather strip in your direction and thread it between the second and third laces. Pull down.

The first stage ends with this loop. In total these stages can be from 4 to 6.

Circular Braid

The braid looks like a braid of 4 cords. First you need to cut four laces from a strip of leather. As in the previous technique, when braiding the laces, the leather also shrinks, so it is recommended to make the blanks for the laces long. The laces should not be too wide, since the braid is already quite large, and with wide blanks it will become even larger.

Before the weaving procedure, you need to tie the ends of the threads into one knot. In order to make the work as convenient as possible, the workpiece should be attached to the work surface. It could be tape, tape, or something heavy. However, one of the more comfortable ways would be to fix the ring to the ends tied with thread; this allows you to conveniently fix the structure on the leg of a table or chair.

You can try to braid the most ordinary rope or tie woolen threads to all the laces involved in the work:

Bring the fourth lace to the left through (from above) the second and third laces.
Now from left to right the laces should be arranged like this: first, fourth, second, third.
The second passes through the fourth in the same direction. Lace placement: first, second, fourth, third.
The first goes through the second and fourth. Position: second, fourth, first, third.

The same manipulations must be done with the fourth and first laces: second, first, fourth, third. If everything went well at the initial stage, then the fourth and first cords should be located in the middle. The second is the last one on the left, the third cord is the last one.

The whole process must be repeated until the desired size is achieved. After finishing the weaving, all ends must be tied and secured with a special ring; it is great for making jewelry.

Maiden braid

This technique differs from others in its sophistication and simplicity. To make such a leather bracelet with your own hands, you need to cut three laces of equal width from a strip of leather. One end of the strip must be left intact (at the other end of the strip the laces will hang freely) or the entire strip must be cut into three equal parts.

It is worth remembering the properties of the leather (it shrinks during the weaving process) before the workpiece itself. For a large bracelet, the thickness of one cord will be quite large. If you want to weave a necklace, the laces for it should be long. If the braid consists of completely cut strips, then at one end they need to be connected into a knot with a tail of approximately 2.5 cm, and attached with tape or tape to the workplace.

The ends of the strips must be the same length. They should be spaced evenly. Start of the process: insert the first strip through the second. They must change; the first one takes the place of the second one.
