Do you know that jewelry, including costume jewelry, can tell a lot of interesting things about their owners. These are not simple trinkets, but beacons that, upon close examination, can tell the most intimate secrets about a person.

But this is the work of psychologists, but stylists look at it from a different angle. There is an interesting approach based on a person’s color type, for example. As you know, there are four color types: spring woman, summer woman, autumn woman, winter woman. And everyone is recommended their own jewelry, which, of course, serves to emphasize the beauty of a particular type and of each woman individually.

A spring woman will look perfect in delicate jewelry of small shapes, very spring-like, right?

For an autumn woman, the most suitable various decorations from natural materials: leather, wood, feathers, etc. But stylists do not recommend silver for them.

Rhinestone, rhinestones, crystals, shine and sparkle - of course, all this is perfect for a woman of a winter color type.

This is more than briefly about jewelry from the point of view of fashion and style.

From a psychological point of view, the topic is simply endless, here are just a few points that I paid attention to. How to combine shyness and jewelry, for example. Jewelry is designed to attract attention, and if we talk about shyness, then it turns out to be a kind of contradiction. And yet, shy ladies wear jewelry, preferably ethnic, exquisite hand-made, designer jewelry self made. Something out of fashion, but for the soul.

Shy women with a romantic soul often gravitate towards jewelry in oriental style. The East is a delicate matter, we have heard and read. Shamballa bracelets, dream catcher earrings, baubles, oriental amulets, etc.

I call my grandson a “dramatic grandson” - this is his mental structure in the grandmother’s opinion: a child who is sensitive, closely perceives and reacts vividly to events. I laughed so heartily when I read that ladies of a dramatic nature prefer flashy jewelry with large stones, creative shapes, extravagant combinations of textures and colors (I just bought a large matte silver bracelet, scratched as if it was five hundred years old))) Now for me The big question is who among us is made for drama. Maybe I’m adapting the baby to myself this way.

I won’t reveal a secret by saying in a nutshell about ladies with a calm disposition that their choice is classic.

Handmade jewelry is always interesting because each piece is one of a kind. Not everyone will make bracelets for themselves, but you can always buy them, for example, at CraftstudiO - handmade products, exquisite hand-made items for all occasions.

Too small a piece of leather, then this model will do.

Another option, very simple and quick, is an old belt or watch strap.

Here you need to tinker, and paint the leather and stitch it on a machine, but it’s worth it.

And what I liked most was this gentle tenderness, and it’s done in an elementary way.

In this master class, we have collected the best bracelets that can be made from leather. They will help complement the outfit and create a complete look.

Simple leather bracelet with an unusual shape

This simple master class leather bracelet, which we will show below, is made quite quickly, and the result will exceed all your expectations.

We will need

1) A piece of leather

4) Hammer

Step-by-step master class

Step 1

Cutting out the base for the bracelet

This is the piece of leather we had from the very beginning:

Measuring the width of the wrist

Step 2

Cutting out the base:

Was:

Became:

Before you cut the leather, you should have a good idea of what you want to achieve. We ended up with a base like this:

Step 3

Making notes for buttons

Our base is ready:

Now we apply the blank to the hand and insert a pin in the place where we want to make a button

You need to push the pin deep enough to make a mark on all the layers. Be careful not to puncture your hand.

We pull out the pin, remove the bracelet, lay it out on a flat surface, and insert the pins into the places with holes.

There will be buttons in these places.

Step 4

Preparing buttons and tools

We take our buttons and tools out of the packaging.

To work, we need 4 types of buttons and each of them must have its own attachment

The black circle is needed in order not to damage the surface on which we will place the buttons

A piece of rod will be needed to insert buttons

Step 5

Skin preparation

Now we will make holes for the buttons (if you have a hole punch, then everything will be much faster. Just punch holes in the places with pins)

Pull out the pins

Place a black circle under the hole

We insert a piece of the rod, the sharp end to the skin and hit it with a hammer

This is what the hole should look like:

We do the same on the other side

Step 6

Insert the top part of the button

Tools and materials for insertion:

We put the nozzles on the plastic plate

Ready! The top part is done.

Step 7

We insert bottom part buttons

Each part of the buttons requires its own tool. For the lower part it is like this:

We put the nozzles on the plate

Now look carefully at the pictures and insert the button in the same way. Don't get confused

Here's what happens:

The bracelet is almost ready

Step 8

Decorating the bracelet

To make the bracelet more interesting, let's add another button.

Place the button at the desired distance (about 1-1.5 cm) and press it against the bracelet to leave a mark

Punch a through hole using a pin

We repeat steps 5 and 6 and get a super cool bracelet

This is how it will look on your hand:

Don't be afraid to get creative with your shape. Experiment!

Don't be afraid to experiment: make a longer bracelet or make several of them, change the color of the leather or weave.

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 :)

Once again we continue the theme of hande-made bracelets. For this one we make leather ones.

It's time again to stretch our hands a little, exercise our imagination, tap into the creative spark within us and make something with our own hands. And not even something, but trendy leather bracelets. What's great about these bracelets is that you can wear them with anything, especially ethnic clothing. In addition, there are a huge number of different forms, colors and options, so you can always choose a leather bracelet to match your outfit. Well, it’s not even worth describing how good they look on the hand.

So, let's get down to the actual process of creating bracelets.

DIY wide leather bracelets

You will need:

Leather straps (strips of leather with a clasp at the end)
. Ribbons
. Metal spikes
. Threads
. Super glue

Leather bracelets with your own hands

You can simply glue a narrower piece of tape onto the bracelet and add some spikes.
Or you can attach spikes and entangle them with a bright thread (yellow, for example).
You will get 2 wonderful bracelets.

How to make leather bracelets photo

A couple more options creative process. You will need:

- leather laces - you can use thin leather ribbons
- floss threads
- glue
- scissors
- scotch
- needle

Step 1
Measure your wrist by wrapping the leather cord loosely around your wrist twice, then add an extra 10cm to tie it. Glue one end of the leather cord to the surface so that it does not move and, stepping back about 5 cm from the edge, drop a drop of glue onto the leather cord and attach your first color of floss to it.

Step 2
Continue winding the floss around the leather cord until you have a strip of the width you want, then cut off the rest of the thread, securing the end to the bracelet.

Step 3
Take a different color of thread and do the same procedure with it again. Continue doing steps 2 and 3 until you have done about 5cm of different colors.

Step 4
When you're done wrapping, take the needle and pass it under yours. If you want, you can add a small drop of glue to make sure your floss doesn't come off.

Step 5
Tie the end of the lace that is closest to the wrap around the other end of the lace. Make a simple knot. The knot should be strong, but the leather lace should pass freely back and forth and slide through it.

Tip: Before tying a leather lace, wet it a little and remember it to make it softer and easier to tie. This will also help make a strong knot.

Step 6
Leaving at least 10cm on the other side, repeat steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 again.

Step 7
When you have finished wrapping the other side of your bracelet, re-tie the loose end on the other side.

You will get wonderful multi-colored bracelets.

DIY leather bracelets

Well, now for more complex options.

You will need everything you have on hand: leather laces and strips, beads, chains, glue, threads.

1. Bracelet with beads. Take 2 laces, place beads between them and attach the beads to the laces by passing threads through them and entangling the laces with these threads.

2. Multi-strand bracelet with beads. Just grab some suede threads, a couple of end clasps, and seed beads with holes for your threads to fit through. String your beads and beads onto strings, tying the thread after each with a knot. Secure the fasteners at the ends.

3. Braided bracelet with beads. It is too easy way. Just start braiding your hair with suede threads, adding beads here and there, secure the clasps at the ends, and you're done. This woven bracelet can also be made with a chain. Just add a thin chain instead of one of the threads and start braiding.

Don't stop your imagination. You can make your own options and variations. The main thing is that you don’t have to buy such wonderful bracelets in the store.

Girls, summer is coming and wouldn’t it be time to take care of updating your jewelry box? I suggest starting today with a couple DIY leather bracelets– they are made easily and simply. Interested? Then let's gut out mom's old ones leather jackets and daddy's belts. The only request is not to give in to nostalgia for parenting and cut your father's straps into thin strips. Go.

Option one.

This is a bracelet bracelet. Delicate, beautiful, thin. He’s been asking for a pair for his hand, so I advise you to weave several pieces at once. To make it, you can buy a leather blank, or you can make it yourself: Cut a wide strip of leather along two lines, and put buttons on the ends using an awl.

Now is the time to start weaving. Thread the lower end of the bracelet alternately with three threads and straighten the twisted strips so that the bracelet is flat.

Each of the braided bracelets differs only in the thickness of the braids. Don't worry if you don't succeed in weaving the bracelet the first time. Train and become a pro.

Option two.

This bracelet is made in pastel lavender colors. It is gentle and thin. Perfectly suited for spring and summer outfits.

We will need:

white, light green and lavender thread (about 40 cm each)
strip of white leather (40 cm)
silver chains about 20 cm
silver plug with clasp
scissors and glue

Step 1: Cut the thread into nine pieces of about 20 cm, two for each color (green, lavender, white and white skin) and a silver chain. Place them in groups of three, as in the photo. Fasten the edges of the ribbons.

Step 2: Start weaving. To achieve an even pattern, make sure that the different colored threads remain in the middle of each strand.

Step 3: When you get to the end, secure before cutting off the ends. Glue the ends of the bracelet and clasp together.

Step 4: If the bracelet is too short, extend it with a chain.

That's it - your bracelet is ready!

Option three.

For this bracelet you will need skill in working with sewing machine, but the result is worth it. In our version it is white and pink DIY leather bracelet, but you can change the colors and choose a different composition.

So, get ready to work:

scissors, knife;
a piece of white leather measuring 3x25 cm;
thick pink fabric;
hooks;
ruler;
sewing machine.

Cut the leather into nine strips 0.33 cm wide. Divide the strips into three parts: three strips each and braid.

Fold the pink fabric as shown in the picture and sew it to the skin. Secure the hooks. That's it, the bracelet is ready - it's time to show it to your friends.

Option four.

This bracelet is radically different from the three previous ones in that it is not woven using braids. Measure your hand and calculate the length of the leather strips (you will need two). In addition to them, stock up on coarse thread and follow the instructions indicated in the figure. Good luck.

Option five.

This cute bracelet contains a lot of elements: a braided braid, stones, and even chains. I recommend preparing thoroughly.

Materials:

knitted fabric
thread, needles, pins
scissors
ruler or tape measure
leather cord
thin metal chain
2 wooden beads
2 fasteners
jewelry pliers

How to make leather weaving? How to learn quickly? How to become a master and give beauty to yourself and your loved ones? We'll talk about this in the article. Fashion does not stand still. Very often, in magazines and fashion shows, skin dominates. Earlier Leather Products were reflected in clothing, but recently leather accessories have been gaining popularity. Let's look at the basics of working with the material.

Handicraft progress

The history of working with leather is quite interesting. Processing began from the Stone Age, when clothing made from skins, belts, belts and bags gradually appeared.

Weaving is a type of leather processing where craftsmen combine several techniques to create a product. Often in jewelry practice there are woven macrame elements made from lace.

What can you create from? It's easy to use up unwanted leather items. For example, gloves, briefcases, etc. But do not forget about the quality of the material. Please pay Special attention for thickness, elasticity and color. It will be more difficult to work if the product has a drawing or some kind of ornament.

But the masters advise not to remake the old into the new. Better to spend money on new skin so that the accessory can be worn longer and be attractive. Each item has its own expiration date, so often unnecessary things can ruin the whole job. Leather is sold in specialized stores. I'm glad that there are many colors and product options.

For beauty

It’s easy to make bracelets with your own hands, which are becoming more and more popular. Such products look elegant and beautiful. It all depends on the weave. You need to purchase pieces of leather that will become the base and cut them into strips. Manufacturing requires few materials and a lot of attention.

So, let's begin. Let's consider several weaving options that are suitable even for men. The first option is a bracelet bracelet.

It is thin, delicate and looks beautiful on the hand. This accessory is multifunctional because it can be worn at any time of the year.

We will need a leather blank. If there is no such thing, then cut a wide strip of leather and put buttons at the ends, as the diagram shows.

Depending on the fittings, the style of decoration changes.

The second option is " Women's secrets" The accessory is suitable for summer bright outfits. You can choose the color yourself, depending on your ideas. The technique is simple, even a child can handle it.

Take three colors of thread, a strip of leather, some chains, a plug with a clasp, scissors and glue.

Cut the thread into 9 parts (20 cm, two pieces each). We lay them out in threes, having previously secured the edges.
Let's start weaving. Watch every movement so that the product is smooth and beautiful.
Finally, pay attention to the clasp. Secure the bracelet before trimming the ends. Apply glue to the ends of the bracelet and clasp. The accessory is ready!

To make sure it works correctly, look at the photo:

The third option is an unusual braid.

To get a wicker product, we take three identical leather ribbons.
Remember the numbering of the stripes: 1-left, 2-middle, 3-right.
Let's start weaving. We pass the edge of the product through No. 2 and No. 3, and lower it down. The stripes are twisted.
We pass the edge between No. 1 and 2, lowering it down.
We repeat the previous movements until the end of work on the product. Straighten it.

Craftsmen divide types of bracelets into categories. They vary in design.

Thin and thick accessories:

Accessory with buttons, fasteners:

With patterns or rhinestones:

With a few turns around the wrist:

In addition to regular weaving, there is circular weaving. In addition to thin leather, you will need a rope. It is this that the cords braid.

Progress:

Take four birch cords about 2 cm. We prepare a rope of the same length. Pay attention to the diameter - from 3 to 5 mm.
Using glue (preferably “Moment”) we connect the ends in a circle (15-20 mm in length). Secure the gluing area with thread.

We divide the cords into two parts. Remember the left and right parts by mentally numbering them. We take the left in left hand, and the right ones - to the right.
Let's use the diagram.

When the length is about 130-140 mm, we secure the end with thread.
Lubricate the unbraided ends with glue. Leave to dry.
Flatten the ends of the tubes. Make a place for the fixer, install.

Here is the result, which looks like a whip:

Leather bracelets do not last forever because they are made of delicate material. You don’t always find high-quality products in stores, so when purchasing, check its strength and the presence of excess threads. Of course, the leather belt also needs to be checked. Often they can become worn, worn out and lose their shape. It is dangerous to buy products in online stores; there is no way to check the quality and verify the authenticity of the brand. Try making your own accessory. It's easy to enjoy the work. But it’s even nicer to wear something you made yourself.
