A quick and easy steampunk accesory
This was a pretty quick project, about an hour. The hardest and longest part was getting the needle to go through the leather, as mine was pretty thick.
I just took a long strip of scrap leather and cut it long enough to wrap around my wrist twice. One end is 3 inches wide, and the other is only 1 1/4 inches, and the edges were cut jagged.
I used doubled up embroidery thread to sew a whip stitch along one edge, and to sew on the button and a thin strip of suede, and the ribbon was secured underneath. The suede strip is on the thinner end of the cuff, and the button about in the middle. I wrap the suede around the button to fasten the cuff around my wrist.

Lady Lenore: thanks for the tip! I plan to make lots of other leather items, so I can imagine that you've just saved me a lot of time and pricked fingers
glad you like it Happy

dental floss is better to use or you can also use quilting nylon...both are much better and both act like sinew. I sewed my whole buckskin regalia with both. Also if you can pre-make your holes it goes much faster or you can use a beading needle..they are small but go through leather like butter. Happy
