Leather wrapping!

I took a class today on making leather wrapped bracelets. It is incredibly addicting and fun, AND I can do it at home! Here are the three bracelets I made today, all with leather and Czech crystal beads.

For Megan - orange/gold on reddish brown with shell button

For Alycia - clear with bronze fill on brown with white button

Coral pink with bronze spacers on brown with shell button

They look great on! I would likely sell double wraps for $25 and singles for $15. A funky but really pretty accent!

Things I made: 2 necklaces, 1 bracelet, 6 pairs of earrings

I had a relatively unproductive day in all other fields of my life, but jewelry-wise I did pretty well!

On top of making things I have started creating an Etsy site, so some of my things will be available to purchase through my website there (link to follow with finished store!). As well, I can now take requests/questions/orders through my new email, thingslisamakes@gmail.com
