Locking Wrist Cuffs

Locking Wrist Cuffs
You can make cuffs out of leather you buy in Tandy. A set of wrist cuffs doesn't take a huge amount of leather and just requires a leather punch a razor knife, and a hammer and hard surface as tools.
You will need about 9-10" of leather for each cuff, about 2" wide. If you are making them for a female sub, you can make them shorter. What you actually need, is the wrist measurement, plus about 3" If you are going to line them, you might want to add another inch.


You will also need the two part rivets, the hasp (?) part of a lock set (what I mean is the part with the ring sticking up that you pull the other piece over then padlock.)

Use rather heavy leather for this, otherwise, the hasp is going to unbalance them and they will be uncomfortable. All you have to do, is set the padlock down on one end, measure where the holes are, punch the holes, and fasten the padlock down with rivets.

Do this on each cuff. Then, measure them on your sub, and cut a slit for the hasp to come through, and fasten them with padlocks.

Voila! Locking cuffs, custom sized.

You can also add a D ring, anywhere you like by simply using a small piece of leather as a strap to hold it on......and riveting it down on either side of the d ring. These rivets are pretty secure.

I usually use rabbit fur scraps to line mine with, and I use leather that is a bit heavier than your usual belt leather. So far, I haven't seen it stretch much.

I don't recommend these cuffs for suspended bondage They don't offer enough padding for that, even lined.
