Como fazer uma pulseira de couro, super fácil? Olha aqui!

Oiii gente! Faz um tempão que eu não venho aqui neh? Bom, depois de tanta gente pedir (por email, twitter e tals), resolvi voltar a atualizar o EQFT...sacumé a correria da vida e tal neh? A gente sempre acaba deixando alguma coisa de lado, por mais que goste...mas ok, voltei e com uma série de posts muito bacanas...vamos começar com a famosa e criativa pacas, Maegan...lá do Love Maegan...olha só o que ela ensinou: um bracelete de couro, feito de macramê! Bom, o post está em inglês, mas vocês sabem: as fotos são auto-explicativas...neh? Enjoy:


* Leather Lanyard Bracelet Maeg-it Yourself *

Okay, not the best shot of the bracelet, but I couldn't resist!



If you went to Summer Camp as a kid, you'll totally remember making lanyard keychains with that brightly colored plastic lace {I had tons of them!} ...so I thought, why not do it with leather lace? And I did. And I love them! Pair them with stacks of other bangles and bracelets to add a little texture! {p.s. you can also make this into a necklace, headband or belt as well}

So I thought I'd show you how ...and if you like, you can buy one of mine because I'velisted a few in my Etsy shop.

steps

* Cut 2 strips of leather lace. Depending on your wrist size and how loose you want your bracelet, make them between 60 and 80 inches each. You can make up for a too short lanyard by adding extra chain but really, you want these to fit loose, like a bangle. So start with too much and cut away unwanted at the end.

* To begin, find the middle of one of your laces and wrap it twice around your finger. Find the middle of your second lace, slide it under both loops, bring one side over and under then repeat with the other side ...slip off your finger and tighten

* Getting the first and last stitches done are the most difficult, so watch these videos for help, but otherwise it's just loop/loop opposing laces then loop over and under and over and under with the leftover laces, then pulling it tight.

* To secure the end knot, leave your last box stitch loose then with each lace, loop around your nearest loop/under/up through the center ...all the way around. Watch video here ...trim your leather ends as much as you'd like. {also see last photo above}

* Using your pliers, open a link in your chain . . .

* . . . and loop it through one {or two} of the loops at the end knot. Add extra chain if you like.

* Open another chain, add it to your lobster clamp and loop it through the top {opposite side} or your lanyard.
