I was really inspired how cut leather can feel so raw yet finished. It’s very laid-back and easy. This bracelet is a perfect addition to your arm party.

    Cut a narrow piece of leather. Mine was 0.5in by 5in. Also, cut two strands of wax cord about 10in long.

    Slit both ends of the leather strip. Make sure that the slits are not that big and not that near from the end of the leather strip. See the red dot on the picture.

    Sew on the name plate or any charm you want to put on the bracelet. Do whatever you want!

    Now wasn’t that easy? It’s very simple and it’s a bracelet that you can wildly embellish. Have fun with it and be creative! I hope you get inspired!
