Tuesday's Tutorial

                                          Leather and Enamels

I've always wanted to rivet my enameled components to leather to make bracelets. I thought the rough, rustic look of the leather would contrast nicely with my colorful, shiny enameled flowers. But I really can't afford to buy leather making tools and I certainly don't need another craft to focus on, so when I found these premade bracelet cuffs, I snapped some up. 

I love the different colors and rustic textures.

I also like the look of these clasps.

I made small flowers in color groups.


























Sorry for the terrible pics, I don't get good light for photos in the afternoon.

 

I made holes in the leather using my wonderful riveting tool.

I stacked some rivets and the flowers and riveted them to the cuff.

The finished bracelets!
