How to DIY Chic Laser Cut Leather Bangles

One of the best ways to dress up any outfit is with an arm party. But tons of bracelets on your arm can be heavy! We used our trusty laser cutter to create custom cutout leather bangles that will amp up your style in a matter of minutes. Wrap them with fun colors of embroidery floss to give the party a pop of color.

Materials:
– leather

– embroidery floss

– E6000 glue

Tools:

– laser cutter (or xacto knife)

– scissors

Instructions:

1. Place leather in the laser cutter and cut out bracelet using the template. You can also use an xacto knife to do this by tracing the template onto the back of your leather.

2. Attach the leather together with glue.

3. Tie embroidery floss to the leather and wrap around.

This is a great way to use leather scraps!

We LOVE our laser cutter and are so fortunate to have one in our office. If you don’t have access to a laser cutter, try using an xacto knife to cut out geometric shapes from your leather.

Ta-dah! If you are interested in learning more about the laser cutter, and live in the Bay Area, sign up for one of our laser cutting classes here at the Make Shop.

Using E6000, glue the ends of the bracelet together.

Tie embroidery floss to the bracelet and wrap around where the two ends meet. Tie off and use glue to secure the knot in place.

Pops of color against a neutral? Yes, yes and yes!

Another way to wrap is by overlapping the bracelet and wrapping vertically instead of horizontally. Once you’ve wrapped enough, tie off and glue in place.

Looking for a bangle that will match everything? Then stick to neutral on neutral. These bracelets are so easy. Let’s make more!

Sick of bracelets weighing down your hands? Well these are light as a feather and make a statement. What we love about these bangles is that they can be made out of any scraps of leather from previous projects.

Reliving your dating history with your best friends and a glass of wine is, if you ask me, the definition of the ultimate girls' night. Trading dating horror stories usually ends with me laughing so hard I can't breathe. But in Stephanie Hsu's new romantic comedyLaid, going through her list of exes is anything but funny for one simple reason: they're all dying, and she needs to figure out why. Here's everything you need to know about the new show before it hits Peacock this December!

  • In Laid, Stephanie Hsu's Ruby learns all of her exes are dying.
  • She teams up with BFF AJ to get to the bottom of the mystery.
  • All eight episodes of the series will hit Peacock this December.

What is Laid about?

Laid Plot

"Would you wanna know if you were gonna die?" Stephanie Hsu asks at the beginning of the Laid trailer. When Ruby (Stephanie) finds out her exes are all dying in strange ways, she has to go back through her relationship timelines in order to embrace the future. According to the official Peacock site, this crazy rom-com answers the age-old question of "Is there something wrong with me?" with “Yes. There is. The problem is definitely you.”

“When we started to develop Laid, we were intrigued by the idea of bringing back the old-school, traditional romantic comedy (swelling music! kisses in the rain! Anne Hathaway or someone who is also appealing!), but because we were living in such a dark time (pandemic! industry strikes!), we felt it needed to have some kind of twist,” co-showrunners & executive producers Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna said in a joint statement. “Sure, it could be optimistic and heartwarming and make you believe in love again, but it should probably also have suspense, death, and blood."

I'm obsessed with the title of this show because of its double meaning, too. Not only does "laid" connect to all of Ruby's sexual encounters but it's also a nod to the fact her exes are being laid to rest. So clever!

Where can I watch Laid with Stephanie Hsu?

What would you do if all your exes started meeting untimely ends?

Out of all the fall coats I own, It's dawned on me that I have zeroleather jackets at the moment. I used to wear them constantly — to the point where they were literally falling apart — and I just haven't picked up a new jacket since my mom uh, strongly encouraged I get rid of their ratty remains. If that sounds familiar, let's bow our heads for what we've lost so we can make room for the new styles we're about to embrace!

I'm teasing, but I really have found 17 leather jackets that are equally edgy and chic — a perfect combination for fall. I even spy a couple to match some of the H&M fall fashion I can't stop thinking about! So what are you waiting for? Scroll on to find your new sleek outerwear!

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Enola Leather Moto Jacket

One of the first leather jackets I owned was a moto, and I just love this style! Their classic design reminds me of scenes from movies like Grease and Cry-Baby — the ultimate bada-- rom-com movies IMO.

This version is more relaxed and cropped than usual, but that's only half the fun! It has a light inner lining that makes it easy for you to layer when it starts becoming clear summer is on it's way out.

Dynamite Clothing

Dynamite Clothing Faux Leather Bomber Jacket

This elevated jacket works great for those who aren't into the edgier 'biker' look. The relaxed fit is there, but it looks like a mature version of most leather jackets we've seen. With it's concealed zipper and elasticized cuffs, your 9-5 work outfits will get a much needed fall boost.

Pistola Denim

Pistola Denim Nicolette Mod Moto Jacket

There's no rule that says leather jackets have to be black, but they do need to have a few signature staples. The silver hardware and wide lapels on this design give an edge to what seems like more of a cutesy jacket. I like to think of it as "the one you never saw coming" in terms of how it'll gradually command attention.

Target

Wild Fable Faux Leather Oversized Moto Jacket

Some of us just want to drape our bodies in oversized jackets — like this piece by Wild Fable — as soon as a chill hits the air. It's on the heavier side and it has a soft lining that'll keep your bones warm on chilly days.

This option also has zippered pockets to keep your cold weather essentials in place when you're briskly walking from one place to another. Love it!

Amazon

The Drop Heather Faux Leather Moto Jacket

I've always wanted a cognac leather jacket that reminds me of a nice, smooth glass of whiskey. This one is designed to be a perfect fit that doesn't overpower or cling to your body, so you'll be super comfortable in it. And just like whiskey, it'll keep you nice and warm whenever you leave home.

Urban Outfitters

Silence + Noise Fallon Snake Embossed Faux Leather Jacket

Give me anything animal print, and I'll show you how it can become a neutral fall staple. Technically this embossed faux leather jacket is a statement piece, but you can easily build an outfit around it. Actually, it's a great option to wear with a monochromatic black or white outfit.

Levi's

Levi's Lelou Shrunken Moto Jacket

Or you can skip the embossed snake print pattern and go for this shrunken moto jacket instead! This asymmetrical zip design will still add a pop of color to your wardrobe, while giving you the option to play it safe if you're afraid of too much texture with your look.

Though Levi's is known for having the most amazing jeans, don't sleep on their outerwear or else you'll miss out on fun pieces like this leather jacket!

Nasty Gal

Nasty Gal Oversized Real Leather Boyfriend Jacket

This has 'popular girl who wears her boyfriend's jacket' written all over it — and that's intentional. Designed to be oversized, this leather jacket has dropped shoulders and a large notched collar to add to the overall 'boyfriend' look. If you want to go for a cinched waist look, you can utilize the belt on the hemline!

Revolve

Nakedvice The Vince Jacket

Give it up for all the cute cropped jackets in the world. I know some can come across as immature, but not this one! Between the cream color and the sleek frontline zipper, it brings the energy of brat summer into fall!

Land's End

Land's End Leather Jacket

This semi-fitted leather jacket is made of a lamb leather shell and features a snap collar along with shoulder snaps. You'll be snapping your way into fall in no time, but that's not all! It also comes with zippered chest, hand pockets, and cuffs!

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor Petite Faux Leather Jacket

This faux leather jacket almost looks like a peacoat, and IMO that's a huge part of its appeal. Instead of zippers, you'll find three buttons on each side and wide lapels that make it look office wear-friendly.

Lucky Brand

Lucky Brand Leather Trucker Jacket

Doesn't this look like a leather denim jacket? It's literally one of the most unique designs — it's super sleek and works so well with everything from jeans to sweater dresses. You can even find a cute pair of tall boots to match the cognac color!

Amazon

Levi's Belted Faux Leather Moto Jacket

This belted faux leather moto jacket will become a new wardrobe staple, especially if you want to deviate from your tried and true basic colors. It has silver hardware, a belted hemline, and it's machine-washable!

Bershka

Bershka Leather Jacket

This sheep leather jacket is the true definition of cool with its relaxed fit and and 100% polyester lining. The lapels aren't as defined as other options, which may be a preference for anyone who prefers a sleeker look.

But unlike other leather jackets, you'll have to take special care of it because you can't wash, bleach, iron, dry clean, or tumble dry it! You'll have to take it to someone who specializes in caring for real leather in order to maintain it's appearance so keep that in mind if you decide to buy it!

Wilson's Leather

Wilson's Leather Quilted Moto Jacket

I usually don't like quilted jackets, but this design is an exception. It's 100% genuine leather that has ample pockets and a snap collar that'll give you the 'effortlessly cool' look.

It's an investment piece, but I think it's worth every penny!

Coach

Coach Outlet Leather Racer Jacket

This lamb leather piece is another smooth option for anyone who doesn't want a traditional looking jacket. The more I stare at it, the more I wonder how it's possible for even the zippers to look sexy.

It's currently 50% off, so don't miss out on this gorgeous jacket that's surprisingly not considered a cognac color.

MANGO

Mango 100% Leather Fur Jacket

I shouldn't be looking at this leather fur jacket, but it's truly a work of art. From the placement of the cow print pattern to the overall fit, it's the perfect option if you're still in your cowgirl era á la Bella Hadid.

It's still lined, even if the straight fit suggests otherwise, and that's my favorite part about it! Unassuming fashion is so much, especially during fall!
