I'm so excited to share this D.I.Y. with you today! If you love the look of geometric bracelets this season, this one is for you. Emma and I have a deep love for our local leather store and as a result, have a giant stash of leather scraps. This project is fun to create and a great gift idea!
1-2. Cut strips of leather that are 1-2 inches longer than your wrist size. Mine were about 1.5 inches wide. You can also use high quality faux leather or vinyl for a vegan option. 3. Paint geometric designs. Have fun experimenting! This was my favorite step and I can't wait to paint more. I used this Martha Stewart Paint
Here's what you need to attach a snap to your bracelet. You'll need snap hardware
5. Put the snap on one side and then use it to measure where you want to punch the hole for your second snap. Follow the instructions on the snap hardware package to attach your snaps. It's super easy once you get the hang of it!
This is Emma's pretty creation. She used some glitter paint on hers.
These bracelets make great gifts. They are fun to personalize and make with pals. Have fun creating your own special combination! xo. elsie
This is a great DIY! It looks super pretty!

Oh wow, I love these! Do you know if the Martha Stewart paints are acrylic, or if acrylics would work? I want to try this, but I'd rather use the acrylic paint I have then run out and buy more :-)

Rachel, The MS paints are acrylic. They are better quality than other acrylic craft paints, but, i think any acrylic would work! XO
