Leather is an interesting material both strong and flexible; like fabric that will not fray. It's relatively easy to cut into various shapes or to make long strips and fringes. You can even carve the thicker kind and burn designs on it. There is also an abundance of different colors and textures making it an especially interesting material for jewelry. Make it even better by using readily available eco-friendly scrap leather on Etsy or from manufacturers of leather goods. You can also use vintage clothing, purses, wallets, belts etc.
Hopefully this has gotten your creative juices flowing! I think I'll dive back into that big bag of leather scraps I've had lying around forever:)
AAAAHHH!!! LOVE the leather bib necklaces!!!
