The thing about inspiration is that you won’t know when it will happen. It could be something you see, hear or touch.
Lately I have been wanting to work with leather accessories again. Big pieces of (good) leather that I can work with is however difficult to find in Kuala Lumpur.
Since I still have some leather, I decided to make a fringe pendant with a rhinestone pattern. Here’s the how to:
What you need:
- A piece of leather
- Stanley knife
- Various rhinestones
- Hole-puncher
- Grommet tool
- Jumprings
- Chain
- Glue
- Pliers
Step #1:
Cut a box shape, and then make one end into a “V” shape.
Step #2:
Start cutting lines on the “V” shape, to make a fringe.
Step #3:
Use the hole-puncher and punch holes on the other end of the leather pendant. Add the grommet according to instructions and punch using the grommet tool to keep it in place.
Step #4:
Glue the rhinestones in whatever design you would like, above the fringing. Let it set for a few hours.
Step #5:
Use pliers to add jumprings to both grommet holes. Then, attach the chain to both ends. Length of chain is based on your own liking. 
Voila! A leather fringe & rhinestone necklace. Have fun! x
