Set up to Demo the Leather Wrap Bracelet..


Lacis Macrame Board with a Bead Mat Covering


Here is the set up I used to demo the leather wrap bracelet at Stitches this weekend. The Lacis macrame board has several slits at the end of board. They are perfect to hold the ends of the leather in place. I used T-pins to hold the loop in place and empty bead tubes to raise the leather off the bead mat for easy access.

Hey I am getting close... only a few more beads to add!

This looks like a fun bracelet to make. I love your work. We need to find a way to get you to San Antnio. I am interested in your different techniques for finishing the ends of the kumihimo

Your bracelets are beautiful. I have been making leather wrap bracelets about 6 months now and actually sold a few. Recently I had one get returned to me (from my cousin) because the leather was getting worn by the clasp. What it actually was is the color (black) cracking and the true leather color showing thru. Is there any way to prevent this or a better quality leather that wont crack like that?? Deana
