Quick n easy bracelets

[Stetson912]

I have a few projects I'm trying to manage all at once. This was a super simple one so I thought I'd knock it out real quick.

Used scrap leather. 3 mystery bracelets with names. Mahogany dye and mop n glo finish. Hope you enjoy!

Ps. Sorry for the bad lighting names are Freddie, Kari, and Dave.

Font is kunster script (I think) I used inkscape to size it and printed it out. Traced to the leather and lightly cut it in with my 1/4" angle swivel knife blade. Then after I dyed and had a few layers of sealer I used watered down black acrylic paint to antique it. Then sealed it with more mop n glo.

Thanks! It is. It's what was requested too. Fiebings pro mahogany diluted a little with denatured alcohol and airbrushed in several applications.

Thank you for the concise answer. The names are nicely done, especially the middle one,

Thanks fredk, it's a challenge for me being that small. My swivel skills aren't the best haha

Thanks man, yeah sometimes the down n dirty simpler projects that hardly touch the marble are the super fun ones.
