Wrist Cuff Leather

My sister has long, slender arms and can where just about anything. On her, a thick leather cuff still slips around gracefully on her wrist. In my opinion, any bracelet, including a wrist cuff leather bracelet, looks better and is more comfortable if it is not snug against your skin. A little movement gives your cuff a little extra lift in grabbing attention. Wearing a wrist cuff leather bracelet large enough so that it can slip around a bit also makes your arms look more slender.

Match thick cuffs with chunky shoes or a thick belt for the most impact. If you can find the perfect match in color and detail, even better.

Everything about me is, however, is short including my fingers and wrists (it's really not fair when your baby sis is taller than you!). Thin width wrist cuffs look better on me so I shop for cuffs that are more narrow. I also like them to stand out so cuffs in either an eye-popping color or with great hardware and detail always catch my eye.

Since women's shoes often have buckles and metal details, it's easy to pair a wrist cuff leather bracelet with a great pair of matching shoes. I have a chocolate brown pair of sandles with a buckle on the top and found a matching chocolate brown cuff that had a similar buckle. I can wear those with just a great white shirt and jeans and let the wrist cuff leather bracelet and the shoes do all the work.

Ever tweak a piece of jewelry to make it different? I've taken jewelry sliders and added them to a strand of pearls or put them over two chains at once to make them unique or to customize the look. You can do the same thing with a wrist cuff. Use a charm trinket you already have or find some cool new ones and attach them around the buckle of a leather cuff like this one. Add a few, one for each of your special interests - a flower, a music note, or a kitten and you've taken your cuff from sharp to stunningly special.

Purple is a strong color recommendation this year and while I don't have a lot of purple clothes, I can always add a touch of purple with a leather cuff. Some of these are so striking by themselves, they don't really need much more. They could be worn with a suit to the office or look just as well with a pair of jeans when you're out running errands.

Alright, these aren't necessarily my type of wrist cuff, but my teen son LOVES them - even the one with the pink mushroom skeleton. They're totally cool so of course he absolutely had to have one.

I am the least crafty person I know so if I can make my own wrist cuff leather bracelet, you can, too. This is so simple!

Do you have an old leather belt that you don't wear anymore? My favorite, belts that come with pants and then I don't use the belt so they hang in my closet. If you have one of those with a standard belt buckle, try using it to make your own cuff.

1. With the belt buckled, place the belt around your wrist with the buckle on the top of your wrist.

2. Bring the excess portion of the belt together at the underside of your wrist and mark two cut lines. Your going to cut the belt in two places, leaving the buckle and peg intact. Make sure you have enough overlap at the two cuts in order to glue a snap enclosure.

3. Make the two cuts using the appropriate cutting tool. Scissors may not be enough for a thick belt.

4. Using leather glue and a snap enclosure, both of which can be found at any craft store, attach the snap pieces to the ends of your cut belt.

You're done, but you don't have to stop there. Add any other jeweled embellishments with the leather glue by placing them around the cuff in a pattern or haphazardly.
