You just need to be in a place where you feel comfortable and where you can easily and effectively create your braided bracelet.

Here is the small tutorial for a leather or thread bracelet, basically with the materials you have chosen: 

1. Prepare the Materials for Your Braided Bracelet for Men

Once all the materials are ready, you need to measure the size of your wrist and cut 3 pieces to the length of your wrist. 

Make sure these pieces are of the same length to avoid problems during the braiding.

If it’s for a gift, **make sure to take the correct wrist size** of the person so that the men’s braided bracelet can fit well.

2. Braiding Your Braided Bracelet

Take the 3 pieces, then with the help of your hook, hold the 3 ends and then braid them. There are various braid patterns, but here, a flat braid is generally sufficient.

Take the first piece, then the second and the third with your 2 hands, and braid them to get a nice flat braid.

If you can’t do it, **there are also methods with just 2 threads or 2 cords**. You can also do it with laces. The principle remains the same, braid the threads forming a figure-eight, all the way to the end! Here, you can already see that your men’s braided bracelet is taking shape. Let’s move on to the next step.

3. Add the Clasp to Your Bracelet

Once you are done, the clasp is to be added so you can securely close your bracelet. Generally, lobster clasps are ideal and easy to use.

For Brazilian bracelets, their clasps are in knots. That is to say, there is no need for a specific type of clasp; just don’t braid the pieces all the way to the end (in this case, you need to cut the pieces longer than your wrist size). And tie the ends like shoe laces to form a knot. Your men’s braided bracelet is ready to be worn or gifted. 

4. Time for Personalizing Your Braided Bracelet for Men!

For personalization, you can do it based on your imagination. **You have several choices and options to decorate it**. A small jewel like a silver pendant for an anchor bracelet or small beads are examples. Do it as you feel!

That’s why it is said that **you need to be quite creative if you want a stylish braided bracelet!** It also comes from the choice of materials and colors.
