Designer Tip: Cut the 5mm leather in half. Trim the outside edge of the 5mm leather so it fits into the curved sides of the cuff: you will need to slightly round one corner of the leather (you may need to use a nail file to round the corners). Use Super New Glue to glue the ends of the 5 and 10mm leather into the cuff as shown. Use E6000 Glue to glue all but the last half inch of the leather into the cuff. Measure, cut, and round the corners of the second ends of the leather to fit and use the Super New Glue to glue the last half inch of the leather into the cuff. If the Super New Glue does not hold, allow it to dry completely and reapply. The rationale for using the E-6000 everywhere but the ends is that is it bonds with some elasticity and will allow the bangle to be opened and closed without cracking. Super New Glue tends to be a bit more brittle when it is dry, and that is why we don't recommend it for the bendable part of the cuff, but will hold the ends strongly.
