My brother-in-law is getting married today! We’re all really excited about it. So nothing new around here today. Although, I did manage to whip this up this morning while getting ready. I’ve had these beads forever (I’ll be sharing the petina technique soon). Took about 10 minutes.
I’ll be back tomorrow sharing the invitations I designed for Scott & Rebecca.
Last week, in preparation for my little TV debut, I made a leather feather headband using the pattern pieces from the Fringed Feather necklace tutorial. It took about 10 minutes to make & practically cost nothing. I had all of the supplies on hand – but if I had to price it out, I believe it cost somewhere around 25ยข. TOTAL.
I love this leather! It’s so smooth & soft and the tips of the feathers curl out, which I love. All I did was cut out the little pattern pieces & glue them onto a headband & glued felt underneath the leather for sturdiness. Simple!

Michael Ann, whipped up some adorable little earrings using two-toned leather she found at JoAnn’s. She didn’t even have all the right tools on hand, but she was able to make do, no sweat! Don’t you love the heart rivets? To see how she wore them & read the details of her experience, check out her blog.
Obviously a lot of the tutorials I’ve published are for a specific project, but I love it when people get creative & expand on the tutorial!
Seriously this tutorial is magic. I’ve been wanting to share it with you for about a year now, but it’s taken me so long to sit down & figure out the best way to explain myself. See, I discovered how to do this while mindlessly watching an episode of House.
My mother-in-law has a rad purse from the ’70s or so; it’s leather with a very cool handle. Parts of the handle are braided & parts are smooth. I thought it was just insanely cool how the handle was braided with closed ends!! What the . . . So I figured it out. Turns out it’s not as hard as you might think!
I’ll be sharing this today on KSL’s Studio 5! I’ll link to the video later today for further clarification. So click the link below to read the tutorial!
I’ve had this tutorial in the works for about 2 weeks & finally put the finishing touches to it. Seriously, took me long enough. I love long neclaces & just recently I decided I’d better make one! Leather & fringe is so my thing these days.
Without any further ado, here’s how you can make a necklace just like mine & Jill’s.
