Then you are definitely in for a treat today!
We’re walking you through a DIY bracelet, ala a leather cuff, that you are sure to LOVE!
DIY Leather Cuff Bracelet



DIY Bracelet
Those belts all had remaining bits of leather and buckles…waste not want not! We’re still saving the buckles, but for today’s project we’ll be using the belt ends. Besides the belt ends, you also need:
- leather punch
- scissors
- hammer
- snaps and the snap attacher
My punch is not made for leather. It came in a scrapbooking kit, but works just fine for this – I also have this scrapbooking punch that would work well. The snaps don’t always come with a snap attacher in the package. If you already have a snap attacher, you can buy a snap set like this with different color and design choices.


Cut your belt to size with your scissors and get ready to punch some holes! Put one hole on either end of the belt. You might even be able to use a hole that came with the belt.

Ruby asked how to get the ends of the leather belt to look rounded and the answer is amazingly simple. The ends of a leather belt are already rounded. Just be sure when you attach your snaps that that end is the part that ends up on top.
OMG!!! Gosh darn ya’ll…..this is so cool….I have a bunch of old belts and was going to donate them to Goodwill….but, I think I see some new cuffs in my future.
Hey gals wht do you use to cut your leather to make them round on the edges?
Wow! Amazing! I never thought that this could be possible! Good work and thanks for sharing this! 🙂
