Make it Manly: DIY Men’s Leather Jewelry

This post is sponsored by LeatherCord USA.Make it manly–You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to have a DIY men’s finding line called that!  Haha.

I had a chance at the end of last year to make manly leather bracelets with Leathercord USA leathers and findings for Art Beads Cafe and it was SO fun.  Michelle from Leathercord and I made a huge collection of bracelets for the shoot.  Here are a few of my faves:
The various leathercord USA leathers make creating men’s jewelry super easy.  If you want to get the look, check out the:

round leather braid

2mm round leather

6mm round leather

bolo cords 4mm

There are tons of Glue and Go findings that will suit the look you want too.  See them all right here.

Here’s a video of me showing Cynthia at ArtBeads how to “make it manly” with leathercord USA leathers.  We had so much fun filming this video.  I hope it makes you smile.

Honestly, the possibilities are endless.  This is just your basic DIY macrame’ bracelet with leather.  Two sizes of round leather cord were used too–1mm brown and 2mm natural blue.  This makes it a little more special.  Use a bead or don’t and it will look great!
And bless my husband for letting me boss him around so I could take a couple photos. Secretly, I wanted to layer the you know what out of these bracelets on his wrist, but that was/is NEVER going to happen.

I’m the extra fancy one around here.  Yin and yang.

Not that Aaron doesn’t have swagger because I truly believe the man has a shopping problem when I look in his closet.  Haha.  BUT!  That’s a story for another day…
