Leather Belt BraceletsI am constantly finding old leather belts at thrift shops for next to nothing. Leather cuff bracelets are pretty popular right now, but not so cheap. I decided to make my own for a less than a dollar. No special crafting skills required, you can make around 5 bracelets per belt. Keep some for yourself and share a few!

**These are ideal for belts that have holes all around, yet you can easily add your own with an awl or craft knife.**

Total Time: Under 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • leather belt
  • faux leather fabric
  • scissors
  • button
  • thread
  • needle
  • measuring tape
Leather Belt Bracelets
 

Steps:

  1. Okay folks, the first bracelet is so easy it's ridiculous! :) Simply fasten the belt around your wrist and decide what length fits best.

  5. For the second one, cut a length of the belt that will fit comfortably, ends barely meeting.

  7. Now cut a narrow strip of faux leather fabric about 1/4" wide and 8" long.
