Leather Bracelet Tutorial
You will need the following items, glue (super glue or gorilla glue, turquoise stone, clasp, diamond bead (optional), leather strip (I just cut mine with scissors into the desired size and shape), a leather whole puncture (available at any hardware store)
Puncture a whole in the leather after you have cut the leather to the desired cuff length and width. MAKE SURE YOUR HOLE IS NEAR THE FARTHEST EGE OF THE CUFF!!! My hole here is a bad example of what not to do because it is hard to add some chain. If you cut a hole like mine you will need a bigger chain to go around the leather.
When it is time to add the glue add just a small amount. This was too much glue and it fell out the sides and got onto the leather. USE A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLUE!
To add the chain you need a pair of plyers to open the chain up and to add a clasp at one end. I added a diamond rhinestone bead because I love the look of sparkle with leather and turquoise (I am just finishing up some new pieces for my Etsy shop Colorado Country Girl and it is all turquoise and sparkle pieces).
