This little beauty has charm! Select one (or more) sliding charms and add a cute magnetic clasp. This can be as simple or crazy as you like. Show your personality with your jewelry!

 

Supplies:

One piece of rounded ½” (6.0mm) leather, cut to desired length (online here)

Beads or Charms (as many as you like)

Magnetic Clasp (online here)

How To:

  • Measure the leather around your wrist and cut to desired length.
  • Slide your charm onto the leather. I used one but add as many as you like. Add a small dot of glue on the underside of the charm if you don’t want it to slide.

  • Put a small dot of glue into the open end of the magnetic clasp and slide one end of the leather into it. Gently press it together for a few seconds to let it set. Repeat for the other end. Be sure you have both parts of the magnetic clasp facing the correct way before gluing! Let it dry overnight.
