Simple Leather Bracelets
About this design:
This simple design is great if you want to make a quick bracelet with those loose beads you have laying around. For this design, I slid on some large hole beads, tied knots on either side to secure, and finished with glue-in cord ends. I also added some charms to the clasp for extra sparkle.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Leather Cord
- Large Hole Beads
- Glue-In Cord Ends
- Super Glue
- Lobster Clasp
- Jump Rings
- Small Charms (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Slide your beads to the center of the leather cord and tie a knot on either side to secure. Drop a small amount of glue into the cord end and slide the end of the leather cord in. After it has dried, use jump rings to attach the lobster clasp & charms. |
