Vera Wang shows a cool wrapped leather bracelet in her Spring 2008 Ready to Wear collection. I give simple instructions on how to make your own.
The instructions to make this bracelet are posted via an article.
Here is some info about purchasing the leather:
To make it really easy for you I went to JoAnn Fabrics' retail shop and bought some of their pre-packaged Tandy brand suede leather lacing. If you do not have a JoAnn Fabrics, you can purchase this same product online directly from Tandy Leather. Per yard it is cheaper to purchase directly from Tandy.
I use 2 yards of tawny colored suede lacing but you can use any type of leather or suede lacings for this project. Actually, 2 yards is not enough to totally recreate the Vera Wang look. So, if you want to completely duplicate her gladiator style wrapped bracelet, purchase a 25 yard spool from Tandy and use 6 yards. Use the remaining 19 yards to make Spring/Summer gifts for friends or sell at craft shows.
The instructions given in the article will show how to make the the buckle/clasp by wrapping gold filled wire - so you will need no experience with hot connections to complete this project.
