Easy DIY Leather Bracelet

A while ago I freecycled a giant bag of leather, inside of which was another bag filled with leather straps (I am not exactly sure what they are, or were, but they all come with a buckle!) like this:

Seriously, there is like 30 of them in the bag!

So I took one, wrapped it around my wrist 4 times (you can do it as many times as you like :) )


Once I estimated the desired length, I cut the end off and also trimmed it, to make it narrow, so that it would fit through the buckle...

And viola!

You can also add studs or beads, unfortunately I didn't have any around, but I think that plain leather looks pretty amazing on it's own. I also know I got quiet lucky with those buckles, if you don't have a buckle, I suggest making 2 wholes on each end, and pulling a string or a ribbon to tie the entire bracelet together!

So let me know what you think! My husband already told me that I look like his video games characters :)

Lol,
