- DIY Magic Mystery Braid Bracelet Tutorial
Learn to make a leather bracelet using the 3-part inside trick braid (also known as the 'magic braid' or 'mystery braid).
I share a formula to help you figure out how to size your bracelet (which seems like a bit of a mystery in itself), and go through all of the steps in detail including cutting the leather, braiding the leather, and attaching a snap clasp to finish your new awesome bracelet!

In this video, I use nice soft supple leather that I salvaged from an old handbag. You can see that video here:

What a great teaching tutorial. Thank you for going slow enough for everyone to learn.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for stopping by to say hello :)
Thank you! I just accidentally unbraided my favourite "magic braid" bracelet that I bought several years back; thanx to you I could braid it together again :-) And maybe start making some of my own!
+Alva Curtsdotter Awesome! So glad to hear you were able to fix your bracelet :) And yes! Try making some of your own, you'll love it! Thanks so much for visiting!
Thank you so much for the simple and great explanation of the braiding and the rest!
Thanks for the easy instructions, love this bracelet.
I saw one of these bracelets at knots for $14! Although I absolutely loved he bracelet, $14 wasn’t worth it. But now I can make my own thanks to you

Your screenname made me laugh :) Glad you liked the video!
I always wondered how this was made. thanks for the video.
My pleasure! Thanks for visiting, Sheryl!
Fab tutorial you explain so well 👍👏✋
ailse491 Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that :)
I wondered know how to make these ever since we sold them at a gift shop I worked at. Thanks for the great instructions! I've got some faux leather fabric I picked up at a thrift store quite a while back. It has a fabric backing attached to it, so it'll be thick enough I'm sure. I'm going to try making one out of it! Thanks again for the awesome video!
+lizzyanthus1 So glad you liked it, thanks so much! Faux leather with fabric backing sounds like it should work perfectly. Have fun!
Thanks!
thanks!
Thank you!!!
Marina Kenigsberg My pleasure :) Thanks so much for visiting!

Thank you so much :) Have fun - I hope my instructions make it really easy for you!
awesome
Not what i was looking for, but very kewl
+Scott Pugsley Thanks very much! I appreciate you stopping by to say hello :)
Thanks!! Hopefully it's at least 1 m thick. If not, I was thinking I could cut twice the width I want and fold over and glue so seam is on the bottom ( middle of the underside) of bracelet.
oldladytoofast Yes! That could definitely work too. I'd love to hear how it goes :)
Love the idea of reclaiming leather! I have an old leather jacket that my cat accidentally scratched when he jumped on my shoulder. It is very soft lamb skin. Would this be sturdy enough for making bracelets?
oldladytoofast I would think so, as long as it's at least 1mm thick without the lining. If not and you still want to use it, you could attach a fabric backing to the strip (using fabric glue) before cutting and braiding it.
votre explication est super.merci
+Amal Marcos De rien :)
Hehe did it!😆
John here made a walking stick for grandson gonna try it on the stick should look go IF I do it right super thanks
tip for making it better, hammer it after it is done it makes it look sooooooo much better

It's good to practice with paper too, just until you get the hang of it.
