JEWELRY SET OF LEATHER

Hello , dear craftswomen !
Today I'll show how to make jewelry set made of leather, braided headband ( hayratnik ), braided bracelet and the hairpin-babochku.Babochku can be attached to a sling and, and to a bracelet or used as self -hairpin clip. How someone like that.
Learning to weave leather flat braid of 7 bands, you will be able to make a belt or handles for handbags, and maybe even sandals.
For lack of skin, for weaving such jewelry can use a dense knitted fabric or elastic bands, the width of which should be in the range of 3 to 7 mm. Too narrow or too wide will just look ugly.
so we need :

• a piece of leather in beige 55-60 cm long and 15 cm wide;
• piece brown leather 6 X 6 cm;
• glass, ceramic tile or mockup mat (ie, on which we will cut strips of leather), but if anything in there is not, and can be cut with scissors;
• candle;
• mockup knife;
• scissors;
• Clerical clip;
• any glue for leather (I use " Nairit ");
• hair clip (or pin, if you want to use as a brooch butterfly);
• 4 pcs. eyelets or grommets (but you can do without them);
• punch diameter of 4 mm (to make holes on the clasp and bracelet armband);
• 1.5-2 mm diameter punches to decorate butterfly perforation (but you can do without them.)

And, of course, a little time and patience!
So, here we go:
1. print out the pattern and cut her butterfly paper. Butterfly Pattern here
2 . Cut out all the needed parts of the skin:
3 items for butterflies (two beige and one brown);
strip the skin (by volume of the head) for bandages, I - 58 X 3,5 cm; but better longer, since weaving bandage shortened approximately 5 cm
strip of leather bracelet for (in terms of the wrist) + 5 cm (I length 22 cm) and a width of 3.5 cm;
1 strip of leather straps for hayratnika : 55 X 0,5 cm;
1 strip of leather straps for the bracelet: 45 X 0,5 cm
3. Take a strip of leather bracelet designed for, and prototyping a knife or scissors shall cut 7 strips 5 mm wide, not reaching one edge 2 cm for dressings do the same thing: 7 strips of 5 mm.

Since the bracelet and bandage differ only in length, all subsequent manipulations for them are the same. Consider a further example of the bracelet.

4. We fix not cut end of the bracelet in the stationery clip for ease of weaving. And the clamp pin down on the table with something heavy (I use this anvil). You can just pin workpiece something heavy, but I feel so comfortable. We weave with tension, and therefore need to preform the bracelet was well secured

5 . Begin weaving itself:

- 1st leftmost strip imposed on the 2nd and slid under the 3rd and 4th;

- Rightmost 7th imposed on the 6th and factories under the 5th and 4th;

- And so on until the end of the netting, then left, then right: the leftmost impose on the next and for the following two; rightmost in the adjacent lane and under the following two ;

Important Weave need a little tension, but do not overdo it , to not further bracelet braided , but was not loose.

Thus finish weave bracelet. And that ends not undone, glue them with glue.

Similarly weave bandage.

Now we need to make beautiful finishes, and bracelets, and headbands.

6. Cut circles of skin 8 (4 for 4 for the bracelet and bandages) with a diameter equal to the width of the bracelet. I turned bracelet width of 2 cm, and the mean diameter of 2 cm circles

7. Measure out the desired length of the bracelet to us (I 16 cm) and glue on two circles, first from the right side (cut off excess), then the reverse side. Place glue rattling hammer for better grip.

Important: Before attaching a mug on the front side of the skin is scratched with a needle bonding place for better adhesion.

We get here are blank bracelet and bandages

It remains to make punch holes in the ends and insert them into the grommets or eyelets (if not, leave as is), and tie, cut beforehand , a narrow strip of skin.

Here is the bracelet:

Similarly, do and finish dressing.

Well, now proceed to the hairpin.

Carved on the biggest blank butterfly make cuts for the clip.

So clip looks from the inside:

And so it looks from the front:

The photo shows that the edges of the butterfly are not very interesting, slightly shaggy. Therefore, a candle flame carefully process the edges of each of the 3 pieces butterfly. Butterfly wings with beautifully curved. But before this can be different punches (if they exist) to perforate the wings of a butterfly.

And now ends up going hairpin-butterfly:

insert the clip into the slits of the largest butterfly pattern:

Glue the remaining two blanks;

do a piece of brown leather membrane, and pasted it on the wrong side clips.

Butterfly barrette ready. Instead of inserting the clip pin brooch obtain.

airpin can be attached as a bracelet and a bandage, and can be worn separately.

And finally, for greater clarity, I wanted to take a photo with my kit on some models, but none was found nearby, had to take a picture of yourself
