Leather Cuff

What is the best glue to stick metal to leather?

I am trying to make a leather wrist cuff for my husbands birthday with metal detailing on it, what is the best glue to stick metal to leather?
sensible answers only please.
Thanks

It depends on what kind of metal detailing you are trying to add.

I usually use rubber cement with Leather as it is flexible.

However adding metal details is different, I usually use rivets, spots or conchos for those.

Anything else I use dyes, acrylic paints and carving for.

To get rivets, spots or conchos find your local tandy leather factory.

Leather Bracelets for Anyone

The next time you're looking for gift ideas for the man in your life, whether it's your brother or your boyfriend, consider getting him a leather, corded or cuff bracelet to wear as a rugged everyday accessory.

Leather bracelets are not only lightweight, affordable and stylish; they are a fashion statement that adds originality and edge to any casual outfit.  A throwback to the hippie and rocker fashions of the 60s and the 80s, leather braided bracelets and necklaces are making their comeback today. Bohemian fashionistas such as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz have all been seen sporting this easy-to-pull off trend.

Leather naturally comes in a variety of shades of brown from light tan to dark chocolate or black, which is always a safe choice. The braiding of the leather can be inner wound with beads, charms or ribbon for a feminine twist on its natural fabric and texture.

For a masculine look, try adding a personalized name plate or sterling silver tag. Leather cuffs are another unisex option that tops the list of must-haves for the season. Just take it from Bono, lead singer of U2, who is regularly seen sporting a leather cuff while performing.

As an everyday accessory, try a twisted multi-tone leather bracelet accented with brass studs or lacing. If you're trying to provide organic adornment to a basic spring or summer look, wear cut out floral leather cuffs.   Or, for a certain aura of toughness wear studded rocker cuffs with contrasting feminine pieces.

Leather cuff watches are an alternative way to work this style into your wardrobe. The look is all about a wide band, sometimes with multiple layers of leather and an oversized watch face. The band can be embossed or weathered, depending on the look you are trying to achieve.
