For this you will needXia:
• Pieces of leather
• PVA glue
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Metallic acrylic paint
• Tweezers (for small parts)
• Stud-rivet accessories for clips
• Pattern paper, pen
• Plastic bottle of silicone construction adhesive
Beginning of work.
Pick up pieces of leather and make flower patterns on paper, as shown in the photo.
All of them have five leaves, only the last one has three leaves. The fourth leaf can be five-leaf or three-leaf, as you like. Three-leaved can be used as a bud or small flower.
Place the patterns on the skin from the suede side, trace them with a pen, this will show how many flowers a piece of leather will be enough for.
It is convenient to cut flowers by cutting the leather into pieces according to the design, or you can use a pattern.You just need to secure the pattern with a pin so that it does not move.
For this kit you need to cut:
Sheet 2 – 1 pc.
Sheet 3 – 2 pcs.
Sheet 4 (five-leaf) – 5 pcs.
Sheet 4 (three-leaf) – 4 pcs.
Leaf – 1 pc.
Bud – 2 pcs.
Place the frying pan over medium heat. It's better to use our old frying pans. Place the finished flower details on it.
They will warm up and begin to rise and become rounded; press the center of the flower with a knife. When they reduce in size, they should be immediately removed from the pan.
After frying, the leaf will also curl up a little; now you can apply veins to it with the hot blunt end of a knife. Your parts are ready, distribute them to make assembly easier.
Painting.
It is better to paint with metallic acrylic paint not with a brush, but with a sponge, lightly touching the skin. There are three paint colors in the photo: gold, bronze, turquoise. First, apply gold on the back and front sides, then bronze in places, and turquoise on the leaf. The paint dries quickly, the metallic gives freshness and shine. What gives the product an evening elegant look.
Bracelet base.
While the parts are drying, prepare the base for the bracelet. A thick plastic bottle of silicate construction adhesive works well for the base. It does not bend and sits tightly on the hand. Use a knife to cut the bottle to the width you need, divide the resulting ring as shown in the photo.
Now you need to cover the base with leather. The width of the strip of leather for covering the base of the bracelet must be calculated so that a piece of the strip can cover the base from the outside and inside. Thickly coat the suede side with PVA glue and carefully tighten the base of the bracelet. To make the leather lay down easily, you can wipe the front side with a wet napkin.Let the glue dry, then paint it the same way as the flowers.
Collection of flowers.
You need to collect flowers one by one (2,3,4, stamens), glue the centers of honey together with hot glue. Roll the stamens (in the photo these are short strips of 3-5 cm with cuts) into a tight circle, glue the ends, fluff them up and glue them into the middle of the last upper flower.
And so on all flowers. Glue buds and a small flower onto the branches. Glue the leaf first, then the twigs and flagellum, then the flowers. Your bracelet is ready.
Clips. They are collected from flower leaves 3,4 and stamens. Glue the nails for the clips on the wrong side with hot glue.
Ring. Prepare a strip the size of your finger, 0.5-1 cm wide, and glue it into a circle. Glue the leaves and the finished assembled flower onto the glued place, like on clips.
This is what happened.
Leather jewelry is light in weight, looks beautiful and expensive, and most importantly, it is exclusive and cannot be repeated exactly the same. Try it and you will succeed too!
