Great tutorial! Nice to recycle leather or make a small piece of scrap leather into something wearable.

I've actually rummaged and bought remnant leather from my local fabric store as well as recycled a belt to make leather jewelry (see links below). So if you like the look of leather, check out this great tutorial by Melissa Esplin. I do like her contemporary design!

She not only shows how you can make her cut out leather bracelet, but she also provides a printable template.
Also consider making the cut out longer so it wraps almost all the way around the wrist with just jump rings and clasps to connect both ends.

I'll bet you have many sources of leather to recycle - old leather handbags, jackets, belts etc!

Sometimes you can buy leather scraps from book binders. The pieces left over aren't large enough for them but are a fair size for jewelry.
Love the designs in the post.
