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.

designs now? Do you have some awesome jewelry making ideas with those plain
cords now? If yes, just take action to create your own superb jewelry now.
