Simple Leather Wristlet

Making simple leather bracelets either as a standalone or as part of stacking is very easy to do. This Instructable shows you how to make an easy chip stone bracelet.

Chip stones

Leather cord

Findings

Wire

Spacer beads

Jewelry pliers

Cut a 4-5" piece of wire. At one end, using your jewelry pliers, twist a loop and wrap it using the pliers.

I have a bunch of blue goldstone chip beads, so that's what I'm using. Slide a couple spacers beads and then bunch of the chip stone beads onto the wire until you've reached your desired amount. Mine is about 3". Twist the open end into a loop and cut off any excess.

You'll need two pieces of leather cord for the rest of the bracelet. I did a double strap, which is optional. Put the leather through one of the loops and then tie a knot. Add your closures to the open end of the leather. Repeat on the other side, making sure to include a lobster clasp of some sort for attaching both ends.

Now try on your bracelet! These types of bracelets are so easy to make and very fast. They are a great activity to teach kids as well!
