Sandra Leather Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips
Squeeze out a few drops of patina on the craft sheet. Apply patina to the edges of the cuff, and then dry-brush patina sparingly to the surface of the bracelet.
Let Patina dry.
Set crystal stones in settings with nylon jaw pliers. (Smooth down further with burnishing tool or back end of Sharpie as needed).
Determine placement of crystal settings, and press awl through the holes in the setting to mark hole locations. On scrap cardboard, pierce awl through the leather and enlarge hole to fit fasteners.
Add crystals with fasteners, spreading the "legs" in opposite directions. Press legs flat against the back of the bracelet with flat nose pliers.
