20 Jewelry Inspirations Using Leather

Leather jewelry has been going strong for the past couple of years. We have the slow down in the economy to thank for trends lasting longer these days. Personally, I am grateful for the slower pace for it allows us to push our creativity and continue to offer fresh and innovative ideas on ways to use products and supplies.

From the Nunn Design files – here are 20 Jewelry Inspirations Using Leather to kick start another great year of leather jewelry.


Braid It! Knot It! Tie One On!

If you don’t remember your basic knots from Scouts or camp, Google search “nautical knots” or “jewelry knots” for quick inspiration on how to braid, knot and tie. For the Nunn Design products used in each of these projects, visit our Bracelet Gallery. All of the findings used will be listed in each project.

Leather Cuffs With Micro Screws

Along with the trend of leather, comes the trend of cold connecting. Cold connecting is an industry term for attaching two pieces of metal together without a heat source. Micro Screws are those two pieces of metal. It allows you to poke holes into leather and attach all sorts of fun junk. To see a step-by-step tutorial, download our Leather Bee Cuff tutorial to learn how to use micro screws.

Leather Cuff with Screw Back Bezels

The Nunn Design Screw Back Bezels are the same concept as Micro Screws. By creating a hole into leather, you are able to thread through the screw back part of the bezel and attach to any surface. How fun is that? To see a step-by-step tutorial, download our Blank Screw Back Bezel Leather Cuff Tutorial.
