00:00It's it!
00:04Hi, I'm Chloe with Refinery29, and today on iDIY, we're going to be doing our own take
00:10on the leather bracelets from the Celine Summer 2013 collection, so let's get started.
00:15What you'll need is a faux piece of leather, a tape measure, fabric glue, magnetic clasps,
00:22a pen, a needle and thread, and scissors.
00:25You'll want to go ahead and cut out your piece of leather.
00:27So, I'm going to go ahead and do 7 inches wide and 20 inches long, and I'm just going
00:32to mark it, and then I'm going to go ahead and cut it out.
00:36And I'm using an old skirt from H&M.
00:38It's a great way to reuse an old piece.
00:41And then I'm just going to cut the ends off with the seam of the skirt so that it's a
00:46nice
00:46clean piece.
00:47So now I have my piece of leather cut out, and I'm going to go ahead and turn it over
00:51on its
00:51backside, and I'm going to fold it about four times.
00:57And then I'm going to take my fabric glue, and I'm going to be gluing the ends just to
01:01secure it.
01:02And then once you put the glue on, you want to make sure you put something heavy on it
01:05to let it sit for a little while and get very secure.
01:07Now you'll want to go ahead and take your piece and tie a basic knot.
01:11Put it on your wrist and make sure there's a lot of slack because we're going to be cutting
01:15the bottom part.
01:17And then I'm going to pull the end closest to me over and tuck it under.
01:22Then take the remaining end, and I'm going to bend it backwards underneath like so.
01:28And we're going to be sewing this flap to the back of this one.
01:33So now that the knot is tied and secured, I'm going to go ahead and take my scissors and kind
01:40of measure where the back is, the middle, and just go ahead and snip it right there.
01:45Now I'm going to go ahead and take my magnets, place them on the ends, and I'm going to pull
01:50it in a little bit so I'll have room to flip the end over and sew it so it has
01:56a clean edge.
01:57And then just start sewing the magnet on.
01:59The one I have has a few holes in the sides, so I'm going to sew it on that way.
02:03Now that I have both magnetic snaps on here, I'm going to go ahead and take the one that's
02:08going to be on the top and sew the flap down on the corners.
02:12And then once you've gone ahead and sewn the edges down, just go ahead and clasp it.
02:16And now we have a great affordable version of the Celine bracelet that will go with anything.
