After I made the Mystery Braid Bracelets my daughter asked if I could make her one. I mentioned that I had several leftover and she could pick the color she wanted. Being the girly girl that she is she asked if I could make her a pretty mystery braid bracelet. Pretty to this almost 4 year old means bright and colorful. I’ll be honest I didn’t know how bright and colorful I could make a leather bracelet, but I was up for the challenge. I took her along to the craft store and found rhinestone rivets and leather flowers cut outs. Then we went home and I figured out the easiest way to add a rhinestone rivet to leather using a scrapbook tool I already had on hand.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to add rhinestone rivets to leather bracelets.
Supplies:
- leather bracelets
- rhinestone rivets
- leather flower cut outs
- Crop-A-Dile tool
DIY Leather Bracelets
Step one
Figure out where you want to punch your holes on the leather bracelet, make a small marking with a pen to make sure they align correctly or are evenly spaced out. Punch your holes using the Crop-A-Dile tool. This tool has two sizes (1/8th and 3/16th inch) so use the size that best fits your rhinestone rivets.
Step two
Once your holes are punched place the rhinestone rivet through the leather flower and bracelet then snap the bottom piece of the rivet to the back of the bracelet. It’s seriously THAT easy!
For the mystery braid bracelet I used a thick leather bracelet and made the braid before adding the rhinestones.
I also have a tutorial on how to make a leather mystery braid bracelet.
The mystery braid bracelet ended up being too big for her to wear but she loved the flower leather bracelet! She even asked if I could add charms to it..hmmm I think I have a creative little one on my hands. I’m looking forward to creating with her as she grows, I have a feeling she’s going to be super crafty! Maybe she’ll even have her own craft blog someday. :)
So cute!!!! I want to come craft with you and your daughter :-)

Gorgeous! I’m going to have to try these out for my very girly girls too.
I’d be honored if you shared these at my Show & Tell party going on this week. http://www.gingerlymade.com/2013/05/show-tell-24.html
Wow, these are so cute. I’m adding them to my gifts to make pinterest board :)
We’d love for you to share your posts with our readers at our weekly Finished Friday Link-Up.
How ridiculously simple! I just love when someone solves these mysteries – – and it’s funny how they always look impossible, yet turn out to be so simple! Thank you for sharing, I am headed to steal some of my husbands leather now (he makes gun holsters and belts), he’ll never know!
THANK YOU! I have an old leather “saddlebag” purse (late 60’s-early 70’s) that has a braided strap on it; but a few years ago, one of the strands broke and I haven’t used it since. Now that I know how to redo the braid, I can make another strap and use it again! VERY thankful, VERY happy!
What is the used to make the closure? I can’t figure out what those are called. Beautiful bracelet!
