We love, love, LOVE the simplicity of making 5mm flat leather bracelets. With two simple components of flat leather and a clasp, plus the help of adhesive, you have a simple bracelet in no time. Let’s amp that 5mm flat leather bracelets by adding slider charms and dangles. With over 300 slider charms to choose from on GoodyBeads.com website, you can customize your bracelet with unique charms or colors, make a fun seasonal theme, or choose some of your favorite charms and bling your bracelet.
We suggest that you start by compiling your slider charms and laying them out before stringing them on 5mm flat leather. This way you get an overall look at the colors and sequence, and at the same time, you can choose what color of 5mm flat leather you want to go with. Once you are satisfied, cut the flat leather to fit your wrist, slide on slider charms and glue on a clasp. Quite easy, eh?
We made three different bracelets to showcase how you can spruce up a 5mm flat leather bracelet.
Love Bug Wrap Around
We love how our selection of black, white and red slider charms pops out from the white flat leather. One added bonus is the Charm Holder Slider that allows you to add any charm or dangle. Here, we added a fun TierraCast® heart charm and red enamel ladybug.
Seafoam Waves Bracelet
Summer may be over, but we will always have sunny days on our minds; the smell of salty water, the cool, brisk breeze of the wind, and the warm sensation of sand between your toes. In memory of summer, we made this Seafoam Waves Bracelet with a combination of turquoise, green and topaz colors. We also added a Charm Slider Holder and created a stone dangle, making a simple loop with a headpin and gemstone, for extra embellishment.
Kim Bracelet
For this bracelet, we doubled up a 5mm flat leather bracelet to have the width of 10mm. With that, we were able to use 10mm letter sliders to customize a name, while still adding two slider charms.
