Very nice tutorials and also very timely. I have some leather cording sitting on my workbench that I want to make some bracelets with. Just didn't know what type of bracelets. The tutorials have given me a number of good ideas, Thank you Pearl.

Bold leather bracelets are a hot trend. So here are some awesome leather cord bracelets to get your creative juices going.

Pam Leach's Forget Me Not Blossom bracelet tutorial on Beads Direct is simple but stunning as the bloom is formed by threading mounted crystals onto 3 cords. You don't have to use crystals either - large hole beads will work too.

Bead frames are great findings to use. Instead of using them to enclose beads, consider this clever leather cord bracelet video tutorial which weaves in and out of several frames with a bit of knotting.

Large metal rings are good alternatives to bead frames. There are so many different kinds available out there.
The clasps used in the above tutorials are all designed for leather jewelry such as the Regaliz line.

Hi-does anyone know where in the US, I can find the links used in the first bracelet tutorial. The artist is in the U.K. Thanks, Janet.

I haven't seen it myself from any supplier in the US -hoping another reader can help. Otherwise, try Bead Direct themselves.
