Easy DIY Baseball Bracelet

Hi everyone! Today I decided to do something totally different. I found the cutest idea for a DIY authentic baseball bracelet on pinterest and decided to make it for my boyfriend. Its super easy and can be a great gift so I decided to share it with all of you!

You will need:
A baseball. You can use any brand and in any condition.
Single razor blades.
Sissors.

Step 1:
Begin cutting the leather around the red stitching on the baseball using the razor blade. Cut as close to the stitching as you want but not too close so they come out of the leather.

Step 2:
Continue to cut all the way around the baseball until you can take off a full piece of leather that looks like the one on the right.

Step 3:
Do the same thing on the other side of the ball until you have two pieces of leather and the stitching in one piece. It should look like the picture on the right.
Note: You do not need the ball or the leather pieces only the stitching.

Step 4:
Cut the stitching so it is one long piece. If you need to clean up any of the leather or if the leather is fraying slightly, use a heavy duty or fabric scissor to make the edges straighter.

Step 5:
Begin to pull the stitching out of one end of the leather and keep going until you have 2 pieces of string long enough for your liking. This will be used to tie your bracelet together around your wrist so make sure its long enough.

Step 6:
Cut off the excess leather that so your just left with the excess string at the end.

Step 7:
Measure the leather around your wrist to make sure it fits you properly and follow steps 4-7 to get your finished bracelet!









I think this is such a cute idea and it was super easy! I hope you all enjoyed it too!
