Crafty with Old Leather (with tutorial link)

One of my good friends asked me to make some leather cuff bracelets for her nieces for Christmas gifts.  They are made out of old leather belts.  It was so much fun to do.  One of my favorite things to do is getting crafty and creative!  Now I just hope she loves them as much as I do! ;)

Edited to add:  I am far too lazy,  I mean, busy to do a tutorial so I will just show you the one that got me started. It is by a friend of mine from high school who is super talented and crafty.  Alicia does a great tutorial HERE  if you want to learn how to do this.  I look for cheap leather belts at yard sales and at the Goodwill, there are so many awesome ones that you can get for like a couple bucks or less (50 cents is my typical yard sale price).  I have advanced to the stage where now I try new things like the stamping of metal accessories, etc.  Yep, so advanced.  haha  
If you try it, let me know how it goes!
