Quick Craft: Easy Leather Cuffs, Plus a Give-Away!


This craft is so easy some of you will probably be rolling your eyes at me, but I want to show all those "non-crafty" types out there how simple it is to make awesome bangle cuffs with nothing more than a hammer, some snaps, and an old belt.

First, you need an old belt. Preferably one with a pretty design on it, like this:

I grabbed this at a GoodWill last week for a dollar. The orange and blue flowers caught my eye - of course.

The belt had two embroidered patches on it that just happened to be the exact length needed for a cuff bracelet, so I used one of my other cuffs for a template and cut out each section:

If you don't have a template, just round the edges however you like. (You could leave them square, but I find the edges tend to scratch a bit if you do.)

Now all you need is the $8 "Anorak Snap Setting Tool" from the craft store (like this), some snaps, and a hammer.

First you use the tiny little tube to punch a hole:


And then follow the instructions on the package to set the snap ends:


It worked out for these that the snap ended up right in the middle of the green flower on the end. Nifty, right?


You're not quite done yet, though: next you need to seal the cut edges - especially if the belt you use isn't real leather, like this one. The synthetic stuff is made up of layers which will quickly start to peel apart.

I used a simple white craft glue, but I think you could also a vinyl glue or clear fabric glue:


Once the glue dries you can either paint it with a matching color, or color it in with a matching Sharpie marker. I tried both ways on these, and found the paint was a little too light and too matte (ideally you'll want to use a satin or semigloss paint), while the Sharpie one is glossier and a bit darker than the leather. Here's the painted one:


It's not bad, but John says the Sharpie one looks better, so that's the one I'm going to give away.

But first, a couple more beauty shots:


These two cuff bracelets are virtually identical, so whoever wins my extra one will automatically become my bestie. FAIR WARNING.

  1. Movie Quote? That I can do... especially for a CUTE Bracelet.

    "As you wish" from the Princess Bride, mostly because it is what my Husband has always said to me... and I had no idea why... until I watched the movie (Which just so happens to be his favourite.)

  2. Mostly everything from The Princess Bride or Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :)

    But my all time favorite movie quote is from Harry Potter and Deathly Hallow pt 2 (I don't think the exact quote is in the book, so.)

    "Words are our most inexhaustible form of magic."

    aaaaaaaand that's why I love reading. :D

  36. Ooohhh Yay! Thanks! I have wayyyy to many fav. movie quotes to pick a favorite, but here are several...anything for a chance to be your bestie!!! lol ;D

    From the Santa Clause, when Scott Calvin tries to defend himself to his ex-wife re: the pj's from the 'waitress' or Elf, Judy:

    "I don't even wear pyjamas! Normally I sleep naked. Buck naked.
    [neighbors walking by] Ha! Morning, Mrs McGloin. Mary Catherine."

    Also, How to Train Your Dragon is basically full of quotable things, such as "Da-da-duh, we're dead." and "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."

    Also, oldie but goodie, from baby's day out,
    "The baby isn't sleeping, the baby's on the ROOF." haha I don't know why, it's just a whole lot funnier in context, as well as the rendition of "Mary had a little lamb/took her lamb to work one day/Mary lost her job" right before that...harhar

    And everything pixar, eg. "Just keep swimming" "You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pitty" and "I can still hear her LITTLE VOICE!" never gets old!

  41. My favorite movie quote works best in context of the movie, but I always choke up when I hear or think about it.
    At the end of Return of the King, when Aragorn is being crowned and everyone is bowing down to him and the hobbits bow down as well, and he walks over to them, and says, "My friends, you bow to no one." I'm tearing up now thinking about it!

That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

  48. While the bracelets are gorgeous, these things never seem to fit me, so I'm here for the quotes. I'll just go with one that a friend and I threw at each other for a few years, because it EXACTLY fit the amount of money we were trying to give each other in the silliest war imaginable.

  58. I love this tutorial! I have an old belt that will be perfect for this if I can get around to buying the snap put-er-on-er thing! Anyways, my favorite quote is from fantastic Mr. Fox. It's between one of the farmers and someone in his posse:

    Franklin Bean: What are you singing, Petey?
    Petey: Erm... I just kind of made it up as I went along, really.
    Franklin Bean: That's just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!

    For weeks afterwards, my husband and I would go around saying to each other "That's weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!" You probably have to see the movie for it to be REALLY funny, but if you haven't seen it yet you should anyways!

    And I think my favorite movie quote has to be from "The Sting" -- my No. 1 favorite movie of all time. Henry Gondorf (Paul Newman) has just met Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford). Gondorf has an incredible hangover/still-drunkover and Hooker throws him in the shower and turns the cold water on.

    Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?

  96. My favourite movie quote has got to be "Laugh it up, fuzzball," just because when I was a kid my brother and I taught our pet budgie to say it. The rest of the family were trying to teach it the boring standard phrases like "who's a pretty boy", so the poor thing ended up getting all mixed up and usually came out with something like "who's a pretty fuzzball" - which was pretty hilarious to a couple of 10 and 6 year olds.

  160. I'm not using a Dr. Horrible quote because I'm trying to win you over. I'm using it because it's stuck in my head, tempting me to burst into song for the last three hours at work. Which is awkward, because it's "A MAN's gotta do what a MAN's gotta do. Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through. All that matters taking matters into your own hands. Soon I'll control everything--your wish is my command." And so on. Having a whole three part harmony going on in your head is exhausting.
