DIY - From belt to bracelet!

I have tiny wrists that unfortunately give me problems in looking for arm candies that normally are way too big for my wrists and as a result I always had to walk away from them disappointed. Recently I had this idea of making my own leather wrap bracelet using a few things I found around the house..

THE INSPIRATION

THE IDEA

 I used an old leather skinny belt I bought from Mango a few years back for this purpose and used my gardening scissors for cutting.


THE METHOD

I wrapped the belt a few times around my wrist and marked the desired length.


I then cut the belt as marked using the scissors


THE RESULT

The result is a leather bracelet that fits my tiny wrist perfectly!

    That's a really awesome idea. I'm not a huge fan of the leather bracelet things, I just think they look awful on me lol!

    That is a great idea! Will definitely give it a try! It's been hectic these past weeks, work and all the events that are going on at school, why does it always have to be around Christmas, when things are busy as they are!
    Have a great weekend!! xxxx

    I love it when savvy women take things into their own hands and make it work...beautifully! What a great idea and an even better look. I'm off to locate the garden shears!

    Great idea! I have same problem: most of the bracelets I try are way too big for my thin wrists. Where it's possible I ask to customize for me the design I liked but in most cases I just have to leave empty handed.

    Great post! I also have tiny wrists, and I don’t own a lot of bracelets because of the fit issue.
