Easy DIY Painted Leather Bracelets

Thank you to DecoArt for sponsoring this post.  The project and opinions are my own.

I looooove jewelry.  Any kind.  Expensive or inexpensive;  subtle or over the top – it really doesn’t matter to me.  As long as it adds some interest to my outfit, I’m all about it.  Needless to say,  I had a blast making (and wearing) these easy DIY painted leather bracelets, which only required a few supplies and a little bit of time!

Use Americana Multi-Surface Paint to customize leather cuff bracelets any way you want!
SUPPLIES

  • Americana Multi-Surface paint  (Americana Multi-Surface paint is available in Michaels. Visit the DecoArt Multi-Surface website for more crafting ideas and inspiration.)
  • Leather Cuff Bracelets (also available in Michaels)
  • Pencil
  • Small Paintbrush

 INSTRUCTIONS

First, I gathered my supplies, including a wide variety of Americana Multi-Surface paint.  I used Americana Multi-Surface paint because, unlike regular acrylic paint, it adheres to any surface, even leather!  I didn’t know exactly how I wanted to paint my bracelets, so I gathered lots of paint colors and went from there.  Aren’t they pretty?  Just like a rainbow . . .  With a few simple supplies you can create your own custom leather bracelets.
Next, I used my pencil to lightly draw designs on the leather cuff bracelets.  (Please disregard my chipping nail polish.  #classy)Use a pencil to lightly draw a design on your bracelet.
I then decided to live dangerously and mix up some of my own colors for this project.  I used a bit of Americana Multi-Surface in Blue Bird, Apple Green, and Vanilla Shake to create a turquoise or aqua shade that looks great on the leather cuffs!  (I also used Dark Scarlett, Coffee Bean, and Vanilla Shake on some of the bracelets.)Bracelets - Mix Paint
I painted over the designs I drew on the bracelets and let them dry.  Paint over the pencil-drawn designs.
I even painted along the edges of the bracelets for some more pops of color. (It’s all about the details, people!) Paint the edges of the bracelets for more color.
And that was it! So easy!  Customize leather cuff bracelets with Americana Multi-Surface paint.
The customization options are endless – you could paint people’s names, meaningful words, patterns, designs, etc. Get as creative as you want! Customize leather cuff bracelets with Americana Multi-Surface paint.And then, feel amazing when wearing your creations and people ask you where you got them.

How would you customize your bracelet?

      Thank you, Nicole!! I like it, too. It makes me feel outdoorsy, even though I am the farthest from outdoorsy. Ha!

How to Antique a Mirror From the Front with Paint

My new house was built in the 1970’s and is overflowing with mirrored surfaces! I’ve already eliminated one reflective surface by wallpapering the mirrored bookcases next to the fireplace, but for my built-in china cabinet makeover I decided to antique the plate glass mirror that was part of the cabinet, instead of totally covering it.  […]
