Leather Cords Jewelry Making Ideas


As a widely, commonly used stringing materials, leather cords can usually be seen in necklace making and bracelet making. These cords are available in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and weaves.

Some people may think that using leather cords to make jewelry will limit their choice of jewelry beads because the cords will only pass through large hole beads. But there are actually a variety of ways to use smaller hole beads with leather cords. For example, we can use suede cord and pearl beads to create a necklace. Suede cord is lovely to look at and very comfortable to wear. We all know that the holes of pearl beads too small to string on suede cords. But we can use head pins and jump rings to attach them onto suede cords. Use the head pins to make a small loop on the top of pearl beads, and attach those beads pendants on jump rings. The diameter of those jump rings is large enough to string on suede cord. String those pearl bead pendants on the cord, and make some knots to fix them in place, of course, it just for your reference.

Some people may say I like use cabochons, but really think they cannot be used with leather cords to create any jewelry. Do you really believe that? If yes, I have to say “sorry, you are wrong absolutely.” If you know how to wrap, if you can get some suitable jewelry findings, or frame beads, I am sure you can use any cabochons with leather cords to create awesome jewelry designs. You can use jewelry wires and frame beads to fix cabochons on the findings. And you can add the creative findings with leather cords to create necklace or bracelet. I dare to say the design will be one of a kind on the world.

Well, some other people—beginners of jewelry making will say: “we are beginners and have no good experiences to create so complicated jewelry. How can we create fabulous jewelry with leather cords?” I want to say anyone can create your own jewelry with cords no matter how long have you been in jewelry making.” For instance, use a black leather cord to make a personalized necklace. The necklace pendant is the key of this personalized necklace if you have no idea about how to create something special on cord. You can choose three pendants and link them together with rings to make a long pendant. Black leather is the perfect stark, simple contrast to this metal pendant.
