Make an EXPENSIVE Leather Bracelet from Scraps
Last week we asked for leathercraft project recommendations and you delivered in the comments! So this week we're starting off with Kelly's suggestion - a modern, minimalist leather cuff.
Our take on the leather cuff features no closure at all. We use a solid copper core and wrap that in beautiful tumbled leather, securing the leather with a hand sewn saddle stitch. This design detail results in a very minimal and low profile design that fits many different fashion styles - and they fit many different wrist sizes as well with their squeeze-to-fit design. These Leather Bracelets are seen at many high end designer stores for lots of money, but you can make your own with scraps from your workshop!
Congrats Kelly! Shoot us an email and we'll get you your card wallet - hope you like our cuff design!
Can you tell us where to find metal insert?
@@camiloaquino4466 the answer is found at the 1:03 mark.
Camilo Aquino we found it at McMaster Carr on their website
@@teacherlaurel4020 Thanks for sharing.
I make something like that myself ..but with exotic leather ..
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING what you made there ..I will definitely make one myself and use the same material like you. ..
For those who doesn’t want to waste their thread, you can measure on the actually length and times 4 of the measured length. Useful for those who have limited resources.
depends on the thickness of the work, 5 or 6 is safer
I checked the cost of my thread. It costs me $0.01 per yard of thread. But it's a good thing to know
no offence but you sound REALLY snobby
@@thomashorton8302 Unless one is using real gold, or some other exotic thread, any leather worker concerned about the cost of thread is in the wrong business / hobby. It is literally the cheapest component of any project.
Ur mom has limited resources
What a super example of "less is more". I love the simplicity of this bracelet. Thanks.
As others have said, annealing your copper will make it easier to form, which you can do with a leather mallet. It also helps to fully form both of your curved ends first, and then move to forming around the top of the wrist. The ends won't be as work hardened that way and will be easier to manipulate. Nice work!
With your videos I'm getting closer to being a real life version of my ffxiv character. I already picked up goldsmithing and weaving, and now I can add leatherworking to that list :)
Woo hoo 🙌
Good Eric. 💘 love this. Thank you Kelly for the suggestion.
Firstly thanks again for this amazing tutorial, with ideas to innovate .
So pleasant to know that you have stitching irons that speak to you!
"They are not going to like it if you hit the copper strip".
Wonderful to watch how the tools become an extension of the hand, and the hand at the end of the man!
Everything really cool.
I'm glad you made this video! I was planning on making a watch band with this type of copper core design, and I was planning on glueing the copper in... I learned a lot!
You sir are a true artisan. Not just from this video but from the wonderful wallet and set of belts I got at your online store. I wish you had this for sale then. I highly recommend to anyone watching.
I made a bracelet form out of some 2x4 and you can tap the ends flat against that (or any roundish jar, or whatever) with a rawhide or plastic mallet. A piece of leather over the end should prevent any marks on the finished piece. Great little project!
I simply love this idea...already have the materials...just need the time ❤️❤️❤️
Que preciosa pulcera, tienes el "toque" felicidades por tu trabajo, saludos desde México.
I’m Yvonne, I followed your video, I learning from you, a lot of your tutorials, I’m still learning, how to work leather. 👍🏻
Working with genuine leather is a pleasure! I myself make unusual leather jewelry. I would like to wish you wonderful creative ideas and their implementation in working with leather ...👍😉👍
Thank you for your professional presentation. A special yet simple gift.
MY FAVORITE STYLE!
Thank you!
Good project! As always, your teaching skills are perfection!
I’m also new to leather creations! Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I have a cuticle trimmer, that looks like your beveler. I’ve seen someone else use theirs, seemed to do the trick! FYI, your nails are wonderfully manicured!
That is really beautiful, but if I used copper, I would cut holes in the leather so the copper would show. If I wanted a solid leather bracelet, I would use a less expensive metal as a blank. Loved the room at both ends to allow for movement and the sandpaper trick.
Your videos are explained so well and nicely paced. Could you do a journal cover?
Great tutorial .. thanks for posting..
Could you possibly show the stitching method.. so I can get it the same on both sides!!
I’m probably being really stupid!!
Kindest Regards from the UK
This is truly a beautiful bracelet! Just a tip, if you anneal the copper first it is much easier to form it when you finish the bracelet.
I love the simplicity and the elegance of this bracelet.
hey so i was cracking wallnuts open with one of my freinds and i had the idea of taning leather with the like juise from the walnuts so i think u should definetly try that :)
Thanks for sharing. Been making leather bracelets for a while but never knew to do the wax on the edges. Great tip.
I’ve been making them for friends since I saw the video! What a great idea! Thanks so much!
Beautifully done! I'll make a matching pair for my husband and I!
Not for “ my husband and I “ for my husband and me, know your English grammar!
@@wolfa5151 what? She was correct?
@@tylercarlson1634 She wasn't. Simple explanation: You say ''I am preparing dinner for my husband and I''. If you don't have a husband, would you say ''I am preparing dinner for I''?
God bless you. Great cuff design. My have to add that to my mile long list of projects. Lol. 🙃
Love the cinematography on these. Been meaning to try my hand at leather working for a while now, thanks to you i reckon I’m gonna get myself some tools from weaver for my birthday.
Working with genuine leather is a pleasure! I myself make unusual leather jewelry. I assure you that it will give you great pleasure ...I would like to wish you wonderful creative ideas and their implementation in working with leather ... 😉👍😉
OK, I tried your idea and liked the experimentation. Hardware stores here do not have copper so used salvaged copper pipe, flattened it and ground edges till it separated into two pieces... one sort of a hammered shiny the other a sort of black residue. Anyway, it worked. Did one at 7" the other at your suggested 5 1/2" long. Also tried doing lacing on one. Can send you a snap shot if you'd like to see them. Fun...
I never wear bracelets. But this is so beautiful. I want one, I want to make one.
Thanks for this video.
Great job! Love this bracelet!
Here's a recommendation, how about trying to make a picture frame using leather? Maybe use a wood structure and wrap the leather around it? With a sewn seam running around the outside portion of the frame? That would be a cool idea. Great work.
Great tutorial!!! I think I wanna try using 2 pieces of stock spaced far enough apart that I can do some tooling or spots, spikes, letter stamps, etc in the center... Very inspiring... Thanks for the instruction... Sláinte
There's a cool brogueing punch I've seen that would look pretty cool on this design. 😊 Thanks man.
I was thinking of that as well, it'd be super cool to have the copper or brass how through!
Love this project. Thanks!
Great idea! Nice job. Thank you!
Very nice and easy to make. I’m gonna tool mine with a scrolling design. Thanks...👍👍
Thank you I learned to make this.
Очень аккуратная работа. Спасибо за мастер класс!👍
This is a great tutorial! Totally new to leather work...I’m slowly acquiring supplies and I think this would be a great project to start with.
I’d love one with the hair in one side.
Would the process be the same for the trimming and sewing?
Thanks for sharing your skills!!!
I would like to wish you wonderful creative ideas and their implementation in working with leather ...
Love this! Awesome work!
Really nice one. Thanks for sharing.
Simple functional project. Great for a starter. Thank you
Very cool little project, one more thing to use those scraps for.
I was running out of ideas, this is great 👌👌
Just loved it!!
Awesome video as usual. I always feel like I am in a 1 on 1 lesson.
Parabéns... Trabalho perfeito.
This is so awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Very instructoral step-by-step video: easy to follow.
Very cool idea Kelly. Also excellent executed.
BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING. LOVE IT 👍👏🏻
Eu adorei também quero uma... parabéns pelo trabalho
I love the simple look to it! What about making one with braided leather?
Es preciosa!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome, you guys should try a cigar case. I that would look really good.
That looks amazing. Have you ever considered making tool belt pouches and accessories?
Nice work here! The whole video was so well done!!👍🏻
Beautiful piece and a nice build.
Nice. Clean. Elegant.
Thanks for the video
Lug nuts... nice :) Cool project!
This looks really sick.
I would love to start with leather working it looks gorgeous and easy 😍
Corter really makes it look easier than it is sometimes. It takes years of practice to get as good as he is at eyeballing these things.
That's not to say you shouldn't get started! It's a really great craft and there are a lot more possibilities than you might imagine. Wallets and bracelets of course, Corter is top of the game at these, but there's also armor and shoes and anything you can think of.
Leather craft is also expensive to get into - but if you plan to sell what you make, what I recommend is using your leather proceeds to buy more materials and buy one new tool for each project.
@@CalebTWilliams thanks I really appreciate that you have taken the time to type this out this will really help me in making my decision. 👌😀
Awesome project, awesome video! At around the 7:30 mark, it reminded me of a band-aid xD
Very simple and cool !
I love this!! Thank you!
That’s very cool, and another great video from you.
Love this video thank you
I find that professional sponge center emery boards work very well for rounding small corners and you can lay them flat on your work surface to do the edges.. I buy them at the Pro Beauty Supply in your town. They last a long time and they are waterproof for cleaning!
Thanks very beautiful work and clear data love it
Nice Bracelet !! I would wear it !
Great work, as always. You could also bend it around a piece of PVC pipe...
PVC pipe???
Bless you!!!
Love your channel and the content, keep it coming! :)
Получилось очень красиво !
Cool idea. Just have to find the copper in a use-able thickness. Thanks for the teaching.
Beautiful Piece.
Very nice! Thank you!
Thanks for clear explaination 👍
Nice job and craftsmanship.
Nice! I really like leather headbands. Hard to find them though.
That’s such a neat bracelet. Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks so much for sharing how you design leather bracelets.
Thank you❤
Just a tip. Anealing the copper tomake it softer before, can be very helpful when bending it to turn it into a bracelet. The bending prosedure will hardening it again.
very nice and great tutorial!! thank you!
A little while ago I tried to make something by braiding copper wire together. It was fairly stiff, but had sharp edges so didn't think it would be good as a bracelet. However it could be good as a core for something like this, and I have a lot more copper wire around than I do copper sheet, and it might make an cool design if I press the leather more into it too.
Fantastic!
Amazing craftsmanship
You have inspired me to give it a go . Thank you
Excellent!!!
Excellent!
I Loved your video! Thank you🤩
Nice! Batched out some a few weeks ago using snake skin on top. To bend the bracelet use a bracelet bending tool. Super easy.
Amazing video, you are stepping it up man. A total pro, thanks for sharing.
Very nice work, bravo!!!
is really nice.I like it.Great job!
This is the most incredible awesome tutorial!! All the camera shots are absolutely perfect. I do not understand the down arrows.
Beautiful bracelet design! Do you have a tutorial on the stitching technique that you used?
Thanks for the great vid and project idea.
Looks very nice !!!
Nice project! to make the copper easier to bend you can anneal it with a propane torch
