Step 6: Leather Accessories
Leather Charm-1:
Fold the leather strip into half. Tie a small knot near the closed end, make sure to keep a loop. Start beading the strip through the open end. Bead to as much as you want, but remember to keep enough strip to create another knot at the end. Tie another knot at the end after you're done beading. The knot should be adjacent to the last bead.
Leather Charm-2:
For this one a 4 X 6 cm piece of leather should work. Mark a line to keep 1 cm of the cut out leather intact. Cut fine and even fringes on the leather piece. Take a 0.5 X 8 cm piece of leather. Fold it into half and insert the wooden bead into the folded leather strip. Apply glue along the intact part of the fringed leather. Place the beaded leather strip with the fringed leather piece as shown in the picture. Start rolling the fringed leather by keeping the beaded leather strip secure inside the roll. After you're done rolling the leather, use a clothespin to secure the roll until the glue dries.
Take a 1 X 3.5 cm leather piece and color it with gold paint. Glue it around the top of the leather tassel as shown in the picture. Allow the glue to dry. Attach the tassel with a key chain through the loop.
You can also use these as charm for your purse, bag, cell phone or key-chain.
