How to wear Deerskin wrap bracelet Part 1

I have been wanting to post this tutorial a while back but haven't got chance to make it.
Today is a good day I did finished the first part of my tutorial.

1. I always start of with the toggle circle part on my palm and use the other hand to grab the other end of the wrap and wrap around your wrist just like in this picture.....

 

 2. Once you finished wrapping the bracelet around your wrist, bring the skinny end of the toggle through the circle ring part of the toggle like in this picture....

 

3. Now is the important step. If the wrap somehow doesn't fit you the way you want, I suggest you do the following. Once you bring through the skinny toggle end passed the circle ring, PULL AGAINST the skinny toggle part towards the other direction to MAKE THE WRAP FIT you wrist the way you want it to be...... Check it out this picture carefully.....

 

4. Once you got the right fitness, go ahead and TUG the skinny end toggle into the wraps and fit it right where you want!

DONE!! Now this wrap can fit everyone's wrist. I promise :)

Next time, I will show you how to wear them as other accessories.

Thanks,

Kwang

Christmas Gift for yourself and everyone else.

Right now is so cold in Los Angeles and I don't really know how to cope with this weather. lol ;)

1. Take a trip with your love ones to somewhere cold and snowieee. Light some fireplace and get snuggy with your mommy or daddy or BFF or boyfrined or your pets!!

2.  Eat some hot soup with a big piece of steak and forget about losing weight for once girls!

3. Go skiing! Take some nice pictures and show me :)

5. Lastly, just go out there and enjoy your favorite holidays because it will pass by fassssst!!

Thanks for stopping by people.

Gold wiring with Swarovski Crystals Earrings

 

      I got this idea from when I was trying to use the left over leather cords and crystal from other projects. It is actually a great idea, don't you think?

     Not too difficult to make but take time and patient. The most difficult part, I have to admit, is to keep the wiring ends inside and wrap around the leather cord.

     Next project is to try to do other shape like stars or maybe letters!

 

Added dangling Aquamarine crystals.

     

   Thanks for following.

Where to get good quality greek leather cords in LA?

I had this question in my mind once I had just started leather braiding jewelry.  If you are looking for a place to get good leather cords with many color and style selections, read on!


So i asked people around i the answer was to go to Downtown LA fashion district. Luckily I happened to work just right over there. So i took my trip walking around there but didn't really find the right stores till I found Burgers' beads store. If i remember it correctly, it is on Maple and 8th street.

The prices are great but not many selections.... I meant not as much as I wanted. Well, I was satisfied for a while then but not until I found this place called Bead Source in West LA. It is on Pico and just a block east of Overland.They are also have many other locations all over LA. You can check out at http://www.beadsourceinc.com/

They got great stuff on leather cords, and laces. I ended up going there at least once a week!

Inspiration for my handmade jewelry

We took a trip to Mammoth, California on the evening of Friday 12, 2010. I was hoping in my mind that I could get some inspiration for my handmade jewelry for winter collection.

 

Mammoth Lake - California in November 2010 - Half Frozen.

 

On the way to Mammoth, we stopped at Lone Pine and this was right in front of the place we stayed.

 

Sssssssnoooooooooowwww!

 

There was waterfall there too. The water was still falling when we were there. You could hear the sound of water falling form very far away.

 

Look! How beautiful is this place!

And that was about it. Now I am going to spend my Sunday coming up with some cool new design for my Winter handmade jewelry collection!

Thanks for reading.
