Before starting any project measurement is a must to ensure you get the best results possible.

Measurement is Key before Starting this Project

First Measure then Cut

Before starting anything, measure the leather using a ruler and mark approximately 2 inches in width.

How do you get this? You could also measure the length of your wrist and add one inch. Once this is done, cut the leather using sharp scissors or utility knife.

Fuse the measured leather strip with one that is bigger and then proceed to the next step.

Layer it Up

By attaching your sized and cut leather piece to a larger tooled piece of leather by using leather glue gives it a finished look.

Once you have attached the two, use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles and leave to dry overnight.

Cut to Size

Trim the edges of the tooled leather so it matches your original leather strip. You should now have an almost finished double-sided leather strip.

Hand stitch the edges to get a personalized yet professionally done leather bracelet.
