Leather and nailheads are all the rage this season, and I don’t think there going anywhere next season either. Join the fun by making your own leather studded bracelet, its just three easy steps to becoming part of a massive fashion trend.

I had some braided leather cord, and left over nailheads lying around, thinking of something to make I decided on a bracelet. It’s simple and easy and a great way to get creative with leftover trimmings. I hope you enjoy this DIY.

Materials

• Style# 27613 4.5” Leather Closure (Brown)
• Style# 74020 SS20 Dome Nailhead (Gold)
• Style# 74030 SS30 Dome Nailhead (Gold)
• 26 inches of  Style# 00255 5/16” Vinyl Braid (1.800.9.MJTRIM)

Tools

• Needle and thread – invisible thread
• Scissors

Directions

Step 1: Cut the Vinyl Braid to 26inches

Step 2: Take one of the two pieces from the closure and sew one end of the braid to it. Then sew the other end of the braid to the other closure (Make sure you place the braid on top of the closure when sewing)

Step 3:  Take the one SS30 nailhead and push the prongs through the braid and leather closure, (push the prongs inward to aviod stratching when wearing) now the other closure. Finally place SS20 nailheads on sections of the braid. (I used 14 but you can put as many as you like)
