No tools were used in the creation of this supercool, one-size-fits-all bracelet! The designer simply decorated a purchased leather bracelet with charms, wire, and ribbon for a signature wrist accessory. Think outside the box when deciding what to use for your charm.

Any special items can be incorporated with the leather cord to make leather jewelry that is truly unique.
