How to Make a Leather Cuff

103 35
You see them everywhere these days, within a group of friends, music band groups, and random people on the street; seems like everyone has a leather cuff, maybe it has become a fashion trend or close.
Well, if you have been checking them out and find that they are a little too pricey or just not to your personality, but you still want one then why not make one on your own? This way you can personalize it according to your own taste and liking.
What you would need first would be a strip of leather, usually in black or brown but if you want to change things up a little, go with whatever colour you desire.
Next, wrap it around your wrist to get the measurements and then add about 2 to 3cm to it before you cut it out.
If it is difficult for you to mark it while it is around your wrist, then measure with a measuring tape and mark the leather piece on the underside with a piece of coal, chalk or a very lightly with a pencil.
Next, insert press studs on each end to act as your clasp.
You can easily get them by ripping off old cuffs or visiting any haberdashery store which sells them in an insane amount of styles and designs.
Once that is done, you have pretty much got your very own basic leather cuff and it is time to get creative and personalize it.
Instead of sticking on your metal rings and studs only to be dissatisfied, trace your cuff onto a piece of paper and decorate it there before doing the actual thing.
This way you can use the trial and error method without ruining your cuff.
For a perfect finish, get your mom or a tailor to sew the edges to add that rugged look.
You could use the same coloured thread or something completely different to stand out.
