Braided Leather Bracelets


I recently bought some swatches of leather in cherry red and beige from a reuse store because I had some craft ideas in mind. I cut the leather into 1" by 9" or 10" strips, and in each strip made 2 slits so I could "magic braid" them. Here are some photos of the bracelet-making process.

With some leftover leather I had, I also made a little bow for my hair by pleating and sewing a rectangular strip onto a barrette.
