Simple strap bracelet suggestions

[AZ09]

Hello Friends,

I'm planing to make leather strap bracelets for my girls. Whats the best way to clasp the ends together around the wrist other than snaps?, or is snaps the best way to go. Also, any tips and tricks for sizing and centering etc..?

Peace

Snaps, Velcro, small watchband buckles or small eyelets and a leather strip tied in a bow. These are the ways I have done them, all have good and bad points and some are easier to do than others. With most I thin the bracelets down at the ends so they lie flatter on the wrist, just looks a little better as overlapping the ends can be quite thick.

Hello Jordan,

Thanks for the tips and the inspiration. Very beautiful pieces..

I've used a Sam Browne-type button on one end with corresponding hole slightly smaller on the other on kid's wrist bands. This closure seems easiest for the kids to put on themselves with one hand.
