Boys Leather Bracelet Ideas

Boy's leather bracelets








Boys wear leather bracelets to make a fashion statement, whether it's casual, contemporary or trendy. A younger boy might opt for a simple leather cord or a mini braided bracelet with a tie closure while a teenager will want something more mature. Boys leather bracelet ideas include something for boys of all ages and interests.


Studded


Goth or punk boys prefer thick studded leather bracelets. To make one yourself, check out styles in stores and online. Draw up a design that makes a bold statement. Silver or gold studs or a ½ inch or higher spikes in metal are a must for this bracelet.








Purchase a few leather crafting tools and embellishments to put out something fierce. Make it a leather wristband with a silver star or compose one with several rows of pyramid studs. Alternate studs with one inch spikes and hammer on distressed black leather.


Not into the craft yourself? Have your design customized. Purchase a leather medallion with a skull, spider, flames or chains. Or shop at online sites.


Cuff


For the rocker, create an amazing cuff of at least two inches wide. These leather bracelets are punched, whip stitched or personalized with power words.


Draw up some sketches and experiment on leather scraps. It takes some imagination and nominal effort. With some basic leather crafting tools, create leather cuffs expressively for you.


Look at leather cuff styles with geometric or tribal cutouts. Wide cuffs boast an ornamental metal design or are laser etched. Find distressed leather cuffs in metallic or bold colors. Cuffs usually have two sets of snaps for an adjustable fit.


Cord


Create your own braided bracelet. A simple method is cutting three equal lengths of leather cord. Cord width, texture and color are a personal choice.


Tie a knot at one end of the cords and tape to a table. Proceed to braid the loose cords. Tightly pull each set. Clamp the ends using a sterling silver cone closure and clasp.


Leather cord bracelets abound with different colored leathers woven together or intricately knotted. Leather cord is wrapped and braided with hemp or organic fibers. More elaborately braided bracelets are made in a herringbone pattern with a gaucho knot added as a closure.
