Some Butterfly Bracelets

[BryonD]

Hi all. I've been doing some leather work for a few months now and finally made a few items I feel happy enough with to show off, my sister saw something like this on the internet so I made one for her and one for my girlfriend. I'm still learning and this site is perfect for help and inspiration. Bryon

BryonD,

Your first time showing ? Don't stop here, keep your work coming, we like to see it. Nicely done, Congratulations !

Nice Byron, I wish my edges looked that good after a few months.

[BryonD]

Thank you both! I will be posting some more stuff as soon as there finished.

they look great and just a small thing for me, looking at the rivets you used, I'd probably look for some with a smaller head as they do look pretty big but then again, nothing to really compare them to so might be the smallest they have

[BryonD]

Halitach, they are kinda big (all I had at the time) I'm working on a diffrent way to attach them. Thanks for the feed back!

I've done the same and regretted it after wards so I now have a large selection of colors and sizes, makes it hard to remember what you need when you go to the supply shop when you get low though

Not sure how it would look or even work, but what about 2 slots for the wristband to go through a little closer to the body of the butterfly? or maybe use 2 layers of thinner leather, have slots in the back on for the bracelet part and then sew around the edges? you could then use rivets to hold it in place and they wouldn't be visible

just a few ideas

[BryonD]

Halitech, thanks for the ideas! I was toying with the slot version already , I'll post some pics when I get the new one finished.

look forward to seeing what you come up with

glad I was able to help you come up with some ideas
