About the leather cuff bracelet
I found this leather in a scrap been at one of the leather shops I frequent, and had a really unique finish that I loved. It also cuts very well on the Cricut because it’s on the thinner side and has the perfect amount of stiffness.
Below are some photos of the finished result.
If you’d like to make your own, I’ve written a post with step-by-step instructions on how to create these kinds of Cricut leather bracelets. If you’d rather just buy one, I sometimes sell similarly-styled laser-cut leather bracelets in my Etsy shop. See if there are any you like!
The making process
At a high level, the process involved:
- Finding/purchasing the leather I used at a local leather supply shop. This one was a fairly large piece for a pretty cheap price (around $5).
- Uploading this design file into Cricut Design Space.
- FYI, you can purchase this design (along with three other similar designs that come in the same bundle) in my Etsy shop for a few dollars if you’d like to make it! I also have free bracelet patterns available on this site (just filter for bracelet files).
- Cutting the pattern using my Cricut Maker.
- Sealing the back. Sealing helps keep the fibres nice and smooth, and prevents them from shedding.
- Adding snap fastener closures.
And that’s it! Sadly, I didn’t take any photos of the making process. But below are some of the finished bracelet. Enjoy!
The finished result
Because this leather cuts so well using the Cricut, this bracelet turned out beautifully. It’s always nice to find a leather that cuts so cleanly!
