While doing the fishtail bracelets (here and here) I got a request for a custom-made bracelet. I thought I would go for a sturdier material so I chose to use leather. I haven't made suede bracelets before and wasn't sure how to braid it. Experiment experiment. I looked at a photo I found on Pinterest for reference and created the bracelet below.
I wore this out a couple of times already. I love it! I especially love the dangling charms.
This charm says "live your dream." An inspirational saying.
After trying my hand at this method of bracelet-making, I got started on the order I received. -Something pink and full of sparkly charms-
I had intended for this bracelet to wrap around the wrist three times, but it seems like braiding the suede strips shortens the original length quite a bit. In the end I had a braid that wrapped around twice.
That's it for now. I think I'm done with the bracelets for a while. Check back later for something new!
