Leather inspiration

Every year at the TB event they have lots of leather combos on display that look amazing.  I have always struggled with the TB leather--but always leave the event wanting to experiment.  Today I played around this morning and eventually ended up with a combo I can wear:



Anyone else want to share leather inspiration? Would love to see some more ideas.

I like this. I have a bracelet that is a bit too long. Need to try a couple knots in it.

Grrr great to see the Leopard lock in action

Most of the time I just wear my baby dragon on my leather. I tried knotting it once, but it was too long when not doubled. Otherwise I liked the look of it though

This looks very cool! TFS!

I love wearing my leather with a bangle wedged in there. I have not tried knotting my leather and I don't think I would.

Leopard and lavender!

I meant to take pictures of all the leather bracelets they had, but forgot. I believe TB Delaware said they would have videos posted soon.

Yes, they already posted one video which is what I used to make mine here. I asked them about the one that had the large dolphin pendant on it and they said that one would be included in their videos. I hope they post more videos soon--no idea why I didn't take photos of their display--it really was amazing.

I must have a go at something like this, it drives me mad when all my beads end up down one end of the leather I have rubber stoppers on the black leather I wear all the time, but the stoppers only come in black so they look weird on the coloured leathers.

I also have clear--I searched on amazon and it looks like they a fancy purple one

Those would make a statement !

Wow - now I'm tempted to play with my leather again.

Today I really wish it was summer time and I was at the beach...so I changed up my bracelet with the beach in mind.

This looks really great!

Fab look. i see you add an extra ring to make it easier to do up.

I never wear mine despite have lots of colours. I find them so fiddley to do up and even more difficult to undo

Yes, I could never fasten the leather until I added a jump ring. Now it is very easy!

I have trouble with mine too. These are great inspiration!

Beautiful bracelets and inspiration! I struggle with a few of mine as they have become way too long, so knotting surely is a way to consider. And I found this in one of the FB groups, like a celtic knot sort-of-thing



I wrapped it around my wrist once. Two leathers are the "V" of the leather, you braid the third through them and use the fourth for the bead. The fourth was a bit too long then, so I braided it once or twice around the others at the end before putting the lock on the metal ends and then closed it on the leather end.

Was playing some this morning...inspired by a leather I saw with the large dolphin pendant:

I love the way you braid the leathers :-)
