We make our own bracelet made of genuine leather. Original bracelet on hand, an alternative replacing the bracelet under the watch
If you have genuine leather from unnecessarya raincoat or other leather item, then this is a great idea where to put this thing again. The pattern on the bracelet can be different, but I liked this one. You can add beads, beads or metal buttons, spikes, depending on what style you want to give to the image. In the same way, you can make a different fastening of the bracelet lock. If you find the right pattern, it will also be suitable as a gift for a man. Or you can replace the bracelet on your watch with such a strap. If you decide to make it for a watch, then take into account the size of the watch itself and calculate its length, then cut it into two parts and only then start drawing. It is convenient if you make two pieces, first make a template and then use it to make the markings for the pattern, so you will get symmetry. The bracelet itself is comfortable to wear, easy to make and does not require a lot of material. In general, everything depends on your imagination and purpose. The materials we need: - Genuine leather of the required size of width and wrist circumference; – Stationery knife; – Threads to match the color of the leather of the bracelet and a needle; – Lock or zipper; – Additional materials (beads, rhinestones, etc., etc.). Step by step: 1. First, take only the leather and a stationery knife (Fig. 1).
2.On one side, we draw, pressing lightly with a knife, the desired pattern that will be cut out, but approximately 1 cm from each converging side, which goes in length, along the brush, leave untouched so that over time the integrity of the bracelet is not damaged in the event of a break in the connections. (Fig. 2).
3. Cut out the outlined pattern and use threads to sew on the locks that close the bracelet. Or sew on a zipper (Fig. 3).
This is how this bracelet looks on the hand
