Cross-Stitch Leather Cuffs (FREE Patterns)

Dress up these fun cross-stitch leather cuffs with free sewing patterns!

I received free product from DMC but all opinions and ideas are my own.

I am so excited that cross-stitch is becoming more mainstream and, dare I say it, COOL!

There are so many creative ways to use it and so many pattern possibilities that it can be incorporated just about anywhere.

This isn’t your Grandma’s cross-stitch, y’all!

When DMC sent me some of their new Stitchable Cuffs I was super excited to try them out.

These cross-stitch leather cuffs have pre-punched holes just waiting to be stitched and customized!

I knocked out two patterns right away, and I love how different they are!

And I’m sharing the free patterns with you guys.

Cross-Stitch Leather Cuffs: Supplies

The leather cuffs are 9 count x 35 count (1″ x 4″) and come in 4 colors: navy, black, white, and pink. I plan to stitch them ALL!

I started with the floral pattern on the navy cuff and chose colors for the flowers, leaves, and used plain white for the “background.”

Cross-Stitch Leather Cuffs: Floral Bracelet

To further feminize the cuff, I added some store bought crochet ribbon.

It was the perfect shade of green!

I simply stitched it into the edges of the cuff with thread of a similar shade.

The holes on the cuffs are a bit larger in diameter than your standard cross-stitch fabric so to be sure the pattern really stood out I used all 6 strands of DMC thread.

You can definitely use less, but I like the chunkier look it gives the pattern.

Cross-Stitch Leather Cuffs: Wonder Woman Bracelet

I also wanted to create a super fun cuff, and what’s more fun than Wonder Woman??

I used a very sharp needle for this cuff because, for the angles in that W, you need to push the needle through the center of a cross-stitch square to do half stitches.

My needle went through the leather without a problem.

Again, I used 6 strands of DMC thread for the pattern, but only 2 strands for the black thread.

It turned out so fun on the white cuff!

I love that just by using different patterns these two cross-stitch leather cuffs have completely different vibes going on!

I have big plans for the remaining black and pink cuffs.

My main problem is too many ideas and not enough cuffs!

Enjoy, y’all!
