10 Easy Leather Bracelet Tutorials

Hi friends,

Since the summer holidays started here in South Africa, everywhere I go, I see people wearing leather bracelets. I have made quite a lot of these for craft markets, and they are always the best sellers. Most of our local bead shops and craft outlets sell the leather cord, strips and accessories. The tutorials that I place below, are all relatively easy to make.
