DIY Magic Mystery Braid Bracelet Tutorial
Learn to make a leather bracelet using the 3-part inside trick braid (also known as the 'magic braid' or 'mystery braid).
I share a formula to help you figure out how to size your bracelet (which seems like a bit of a mystery in itself), and go through all of the steps in detail including cutting the leather, braiding the leather, and attaching a snap clasp to finish your new awesome bracelet!

In this video, I use nice soft supple leather that I salvaged from an old handbag. You can see that video here:

Thank you! I just accidentally unbraided my favourite "magic braid" bracelet that I bought several years back; thanx to you I could braid it together again :-) And maybe start making some of my own!

I saw one of these bracelets at knots for $14! Although I absolutely loved he bracelet, $14 wasn’t worth it. But now I can make my own thanks to you

I wondered know how to make these ever since we sold them at a gift shop I worked at. Thanks for the great instructions! I've got some faux leather fabric I picked up at a thrift store quite a while back. It has a fabric backing attached to it, so it'll be thick enough I'm sure. I'm going to try making one out of it! Thanks again for the awesome video!

Thanks!! Hopefully it's at least 1 m thick. If not, I was thinking I could cut twice the width I want and fold over and glue so seam is on the bottom ( middle of the underside) of bracelet.

oldladytoofast Yes! That could definitely work too. I'd love to hear how it goes :)

Love the idea of reclaiming leather! I have an old leather jacket that my cat accidentally scratched when he jumped on my shoulder. It is very soft lamb skin. Would this be sturdy enough for making bracelets?

@JewelryTutorialHQ 9 жыл бұрын

oldladytoofast I would think so, as long as it's at least 1mm thick without the lining. If not and you still want to use it, you could attach a fabric backing to the strip (using fabric glue) before cutting and braiding it.
