Leather earrings look unusual and original! Moreover, these decorations are very easy to make! We offer you a master class on how to make leather earrings with your own hands.

We will need

1. Small scraps of leather of any color.
2. Scissors.
3. Clasps (for inserting into ears).
4. Pliers.
5. Awl.

We make a paper template for future earrings. Let's draw the shape in the form of a leaf with a sharp end. In general, the shape can be any, for example, rectangular, triangle, trapezoid. But we will stop at the piece of paper. Then we apply the template to the leather material, trace and cut out the result.

Use an awl to make a hole in the top of the leaf. A thick needle can also be used for the same purpose.

Now, using pliers, we unbend the lower part of the fastener, put our leaf on it and clamp it well. We thread the clasp through the other one.

We take scissors and make small cuts in the form of a fringe along the entire edge of the earring. We do the same with the second earring. You need to cut carefully and try to make the earrings look the same.

We came up with some interesting leather earrings that were easy to make! All that remains is to try them on.

Original brooch made of fur and leather

Accessories can be made not only from leather and stones. Such crafts will look very interesting in combination with some other material. For example, fur jewelry also looks very decent! Here is our master class on making a brooch in the shape of a flower from leather with fur decoration.

2. Scissors.
3. Tweezers.
4. Threads.
5. Needle.
6. Pin.
7. Beads, beads.
8. Candle.

First we make part templates. We draw flowers of simple shapes on paper. You need to make three of them - small, medium and larger. Let's cut them out. Then, using templates, we make a pattern on the leather.

We light a candle. Now we take each flower with tweezers and move it over a burning candle from the wrong side of the skin. Under the influence of heat, the flowers will acquire a beautiful volume.

We collect the finished flower parts, place them on top of each other and fasten them with a nick and a needle.

It's time to decorate our future brooch with pieces of fur, beads, seed beads, and stones. You can take any fur: multi-colored, plain, artificial or natural. The combination of these materials of different textures looks elegant and expensive. Flowers made of fur, decorated with some stones and beads, will also look very beautiful. So call on your imagination to help and get to work!

When you are finished with the design, attach with reverse side a regular pin. That's it, our flower-shaped brooch is ready.

Suede necklace

To create jewelry, in addition to leather and fur, you can use suede. Crafts from it will also look very beautiful. Let's try to create an original necklace from pieces of suede with beads.

We will need

1. A piece of suede material.
2. Large beads that match the color of the base material.
3. Thin wire about 60-65 cm.
4. Narrow satin ribbon.
5. Scissors.

First we cut it out of suede a large number of rectangular strips, approximately 2 cm long and about 6 cm wide.

Suede rectangle fold in half, right side up and string it on a wire. We continue to plant our blanks. Having put about 25 pieces on the wire, then we string a bead, then again suede material and again a bead.

In this master class we will show you how to make an interesting and unusual decoration with your own hands. A little imagination, available materials - the result will please you.

I have some pebbles lying around. The most common pellets, of which there are plenty if you look hard enough.

This is a sketch. Then I made three blanks from cardboard, placed pieces of leather on glue and cut them like this (see below).

Here are three things (I took loose cardboard from a child’s coloring book. And next to it is a piece of my husband’s jacket made of faux suede (this is for the inside).

In addition to the main parts, I made leather strips. It is not difficult. Strips of leather (5-7 mm) are cut off, glued in half, trimmed and tied (or not tied) in knots. I wrote hieroglyphs for the stones using a stained glass outline. On a triangular one the meaning is eternity (infinity), on an elongated one - Woman.

Start of assembly. I glue pebbles and decorate them with glued cord and pyrite beads.

Here you can see that in addition to the beads and lace, I draw all sorts of curls from the black outline. By the way, the third blank (as per the sketch) did not fit into the necklace. It will then become a component of the bracelet.

I collected the necklace. Everything is visible here. The inside of the necklace was covered with artificial suede, with the nap facing outwards.

Closer...

I used a dry brush technique with silver enamel along the curls and bulges (including WOMAN and ETERNITY). Finally, I coated everything with varnish (including the stones).

In a different light...

Leather is an amazing material! Lively at hand, easy to paint, cut, glue. It is pleasant and interesting to work with her. It is expensive on sale, but every home has leather. Old jackets, bags, boots... A good housewife will always find a use for it, because you can make so much out of it different beauty! See what you can create from pieces of leather using the example of a small evening jewelry set.

For this you will need Xia:

Pieces of leather
PVA glue
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Acrylic metallic paint
Tweezers (for small parts)
Stud-rivet accessories for clips
Pattern paper, pen
Plastic bottle of silicone construction adhesive

Beginning of work.
Pick up pieces of leather and make flower patterns on paper, as shown in the photo.

All of them have five leaves, only the last one has three leaves. The fourth leaf can be five-leaf or three-leaf, as you like. Three-leaved can be used as a bud or small flower.
Place the patterns on the skin from the suede side, trace them with a pen, this will show how many flowers a piece of leather will be enough for.

It is convenient to cut flowers by cutting the leather into pieces according to the design, or you can use a pattern. You just need to secure the pattern with a pin so that it does not move.

For this kit you need to cut:
Sheet 2 – 1 pc.
Sheet 3 – 2 pcs.
Sheet 4 (five-leaf) – 5 pcs.
Sheet 4 (three-leaf) – 4 pcs.
Leaf – 1 pc.
Bud – 2 pcs.

Place the frying pan over medium heat. It's better to use our old frying pans. Place the finished flower details on it.

They will warm up and begin to rise and become rounded; press the center of the flower with a knife. When they reduce in size, they should be immediately removed from the pan.

After frying, the leaf will also curl up a little; now you can apply veins to it with the hot blunt end of a knife. Your parts are ready, distribute them to make assembly easier.

Painting.
It is better to paint with metallic acrylic paint not with a brush, but with a sponge, lightly touching the skin. There are three paint colors in the photo: gold, bronze, turquoise. First, apply gold on the back and front sides, then bronze in places, and turquoise on the leaf. The paint dries quickly, the metallic gives freshness and shine. What gives the product an evening elegant look.

Bracelet base.
While the parts are drying, prepare the base for the bracelet. Dense plastic bottle construction silicate adhesive is well suited for the base. It does not bend and sits tightly on the hand. Use a knife to cut the bottle to the width you need, divide the resulting ring as shown in the photo.

Now you need to cover the base with leather. The width of the strip of leather for covering the base of the bracelet must be calculated so that a piece of the strip can cover the base from the outside and inside. Thickly coat the suede side with PVA glue and carefully tighten the base of the bracelet. To make the leather lay down easily, you can wipe the front side with a wet napkin. Let the glue dry, then paint it the same way as the flowers.

Collection of flowers.
You need to collect flowers one by one (2,3,4, stamens), glue the centers of honey together with hot glue. Roll the stamens (in the photo these are short strips of 3-5 cm with cuts) into a tight circle, glue the ends, fluff them up and glue them into the middle of the last upper flower.

And so on all flowers. Glue buds and a small flower onto the branches. Glue the leaf first, then the twigs and flagellum, then the flowers. Your bracelet is ready.
Clips. They are collected from flower leaves 3,4 and stamens. Glue the nails for the clips on the wrong side with hot glue.
Ring. Prepare a strip the size of your finger, 0.5-1 cm wide, and glue it into a circle. Glue the leaves and the finished assembled flower onto the glued place, like on clips.
This is what happened.

We create with our own hands

Creativity is not only boundless imagination. To work in one technique or another, you need to know the rules and secrets in order to achieve a decent result.

There are several little tricks in the process of creating jewelry from genuine leather:

• To create jewelry, you should choose soft and elastic skin, which is more malleable, will be able to convey the smallest nuances of decoration.
• If a leather necklace consists of many small parts, the template is transferred to the material from the reverse side, tracing the contours of the design with a simple ballpoint pen.
• When cutting out individual parts, it is necessary to correctly position the template on the canvas.

Important!

In the transverse direction, natural leather stretches much stronger than in the longitudinal direction. All pieces must be cut in the same direction.

• A sketch of a leather necklace should be created first on paper. The material is quite delicate, so it is not advisable to chop the workpieces with pins.
• To give the product shape and volume, there is a little trick: just heat the individual parts in a frying pan.

By following the simplest rules, beginners will soon be able to achieve success in unusual needlework, creating their own collections of original jewelry.

Variety of leather necklaces

Stylish collar necklace

The collar decoration was popular among noble ladies in the Middle Ages. Today, such an accessory is back in trend. A beautiful collar can complement a business lady’s outfit or decorate evening look. The original decoration can be worn as a separate accessory.

To work you will need a piece of natural soft skin, paper and pencil, transfer tape, metal rivets and glue.

The algorithm is as follows:

• On paper we draw a sketch, which consists of three main parts. You can choose a classic, strict shape or make it more curly.
• We transfer the template to the leather, trace the pattern on the wrong side of the canvas, and cut out the blank. Separately, we cut out flowers from the leather with which we will decorate the product.
• Apply transfer tape along the edge. Since the material is very delicate, basting is not advisable. Using tape we glue all the parts, form the bend and stand of the collar.
• When the leather necklace blank has dried, you can begin decorating. The edges of each flower need to be scorched with fire to give volume. Sew a bead or seed beads into the middle of each flower. We glue all the elements onto the workpiece.
• Using a hole punch, we make holes at the ends into which we insert a metal button, this will be the clasp of the accessory.

According to the standard algorithm, changing the shape, using various accessories and decor, you can make a whole collection of original, stylish accessories.

Cute little leather flower

Making a necklace in a frying pan

The easiest way to do beautiful brooch, earrings, pendant at home - use a heated frying pan. How to do it?

We offer simple step-by-step master class on how to make a necklace with a leather flower with your own hands for beginner needlewomen:

• Let's take pieces of old leather for work. The most flexible material is soft kid leather from old gloves, bags or jackets. Some of the tools will be useful glue gun, pattern paper and pencil, as well as acrylic paints in silver, gold or bronze.
• Draw a product template on cardboard. You need to cut out one small trefoil and two large five-leaf clover. This set of blanks is necessary for one flower. Separately cut out several leaves. We transfer the pattern to the skin and cut out the details.

Advice!

Floral motifs are traditionally used for necklaces, brooches or beads made of leather. The texture of delicate veins of flowers or leaves can be created with a heated kitchen knife, applying the design with the blunt side.

• Place all the pieces in a preheated dry frying pan, fleecy side down. Right before your eyes, the ends will begin to rise slightly and become rounded.
• We paint each piece with acrylic paint and let it dry. You can choose the color to your liking.
• Let's start assembling the decoration. We glue all the parts one by one. You can glue several beads or seed beads into the center of the flower. At the back of the flower we glue a loop from the remnants of the leather and put the pendant on a leather or silicone cord.

Beautiful and delicate work will certainly captivate the craftswoman, awakening the desire to create new handmade masterpieces.

Necklace on a frying pan

Luxurious colored leather necklace

Nature is the most talented artist, skillfully mixing colors. Many creative people find their inspiration in nature, embodying amazing fantasies in their works.

We suggest creating a luxurious leather necklace with your own hands, using beads and sparkling beads on the theme of autumn. To work you will need several scraps of yellow, burgundy and beige leather, glue, paint and cardboard.

The step-by-step algorithm is as follows:

• We draw a sketch of the decoration on paper, noting all the decorative details. We cut out a blank from cardboard on which we will create.
• We cut several flaps into thin strips, this will be field grass.
• To make spikelets, take a thin wire, wrap it in light tissue paper, and glue a piece of golden fleecy suede on top. We also glue the spikelets to the base.
• Separately, we make several small flower buds from leather. We weave a sprig of juicy berries from beads and wire.
• We cut out autumn foliage from orange and green leather, processing each leaf with a hot knife to create veins. If you don’t have colored leather on hand, you can paint the leaves with acrylic paints in the desired shade.
• When all the parts are ready, we begin assembly. First, glue the grass in a semicircle, and leaves on the other side. We decorate the composition with sprigs of berries and spikelets.

This unusual necklace will be a wonderful gift for your mother or friend. Your loved ones will certainly appreciate your talent, work and love that you put into this extraordinary piece of jewelry.

It’s easy to create, especially when you have the desire and the right attitude to exciting work. Inspiration can be found in nature, a loved one and every precious minute of life.

DIY leather necklace with leaves

Continuing the theme of autumn in my handicrafts, I want to show you my second master class on the topic of work made from genuine leather.
The arrival of autumn definitely prepares us for cold winter, dresses us in sweaters, jackets, jackets, coats and raincoats. But when we come to work or school, we take off our outerwear and get a chance to demonstrate ourselves in all our glory.

After all, beads, brooches, earrings, pendants go perfectly with knee socks, blouses, blouses and jackets.
Do you want to get rid of the autumn blues and make Her Majesty Autumn your friend? Please her and yourself - make a “Falling Leaves” necklace. And let your image be unforgettable!

And so for work you need:

Genuine leather of different colors (yellow, brown, dark brown, olive; it is desirable that the texture of the leather be different)
- glue for working with leather (Moment Crystal)
- PVA glue and brush
- sheet, pen or pencil
- beads yellow color(I have glass ones with crackle effect)
- wooden beads
- pins
- agate cut
- limit switches
- chain and clasp
- gold acrylic outline
- pliers and kitchen knife
- 2 plates of different diameters
- the most essential element is inspiration!

1. As always, I start my work with a sketch. We draw templates for our leaves. Let's cut them out. We attach ready-made paper templates to the leather and begin to cut out “multi-colored autumn leaves” and natural leather of different colors.
Note: to get a beautiful necklace, it would be good to read basic drawing lessons on composition and color. This advice will not be appropriate for professionals, but for beginners it will help avoid clutter and beautifully select the right colors.

2. Coat all leather leaves with a solution of PVA glue and water in a ratio of 1:2. Some of the simple-shaped leaves, as soon as they have absorbed the glue and water solution and started to dry, are twisted into any shape. Let the twists sit. When they are dry, unwrap them.

3. On the second half of the leaves we draw veins. It’s easier to do this with electric gurgles. But since not everyone has them, then, in in this case, we can get by with a regular kitchen knife with a rounded blunt side. We heat it on the fire and make veins on the leaf. Attention! DO NOT overheat the knife as it may leave a burnt mark or even tear the skin.

4. After all the leaves have acquired their shape and reliefs, we begin to tint them with a golden outline acrylic paint. The composition of the necklace contains beads; to do this, we thread pins through the beads. Using round nose pliers we make a ring through which we thread a small strip of leather. And glue its ends together.

5. Cut long strips of leather 2-3 mm wide. We string yellow glass and wooden beads onto them and secure the beads with knots. These leather threads with beads will give the length of our necklace. We cut out the very base of our necklace from leather, we do this using two plates of different sizes. The result is a crescent shape. We thread a leather thread through a hole in a natural cut of agate, securely fix it by wrapping it around several times, and secure it with several knots. We glue leather threads with beads and a pendant made from a cut agate to the base. We glue small pieces of leather over the gluing points for greater confidence and reliability.

6. After the base of the necklace is ready, we proceed to the actual creative process: leaf fall assemblies on a necklace. This is where knowledge of composition and color will come in handy. Place the leaves on the base, then carefully glue them in place. Between the leaves, glue yellow beads with leather straps in a chaotic order. Attach end caps to the ends of the leather threads, insert a lock and a chain.

The necklace is ready.
I really want us all to have a wonderful mood and peace of mind this fall. Create for yourself and for the joy of your family.
