Take advantage of faux leather cords’ versatility! With them, you can use different techniques—cutting, engraving, gluing, modeling. Relax and experiment! Be sure to use specialized quick-drying adhesives.

Shaping Leather Curls

It takes a bit of skill to create intricate leather jewelry. Elegantly twisted spirals made from fine leather cords are a key element of many modern jewelry pieces. The curls can be shaped in any form, color, and size, with an interesting texture.

Here is how to make unique leather jewelry with your own hands. To do this, you will need faux leather cords, glue, and a flat, smooth surface.

Beginner craftsmen often wonder how to make jewelry without losing quality and aesthetics. Here’s a secret: you don’t need to buy leather by the sheet, which is expensive, and it’s also a shame to cut it into pieces.

Let’s move on to the creative process:

Shape the cords into strips. Apply dotted glue along the straight edge of the material, fold about 5 millimeters in width, and press down with a soft cloth to remove excess glue. Once the glue is dry, cut along the edge to get a thin lace.

Important!

The more varied the cords with different shades and textures, the brighter and more original your decoration will be.

Let’s start making curls. Twist each cord into a "snail," applying a little glue in the middle. Insert the end of a strip in a different color and texture between the turns, twisting again into a spiral.

As you add new cords, secure them with glue and press firmly to mask the accumulation point. Continue to layer the cords until you achieve a curl of the desired diameter and shape. To give the product an unusual look, you can twist the "snails" in different directions. The piece should be left for a day until the glue is completely dry.

The product can be made in any color. You can create beautiful pendants, earrings, and brooches from such curls, and even decorate headbands or clothing. After gluing the curls randomly onto a flat base with a clasp, you are done!

Interesting Facts About Eco-Leather

Eco-leather was discovered back in 1963. Famous designers and Hollywood stars have increasingly focused on environmental protection and choosing materials that are of no lower quality than natural ones and do not harm nature. We’ve decided to gather the main misconceptions and tell the whole truth about eco-leather.

Myth #1: Low Wear Resistance

Truth: Thanks to its properties, the polyurethane material can compress and decompress without any significant defects. This material can easily survive drastic temperature changes.

Myth #2: Short Lifespan

Truth: Many believe that real leather will last longer as a material. But that’s not entirely true. First, the durability of eco-leather depends on the thickness of the polyurethane film: the thicker it is, the longer it will last.

Second, everything depends on proper care—eco-leather, like real leather, requires attention and care, especially in bad weather. Third, shoes made from this material can be worn every day, unlike real leather shoes, which are recommended to be worn at least every other day.

Myth #3: Eco-Leather Doesn’t "Breathe"

Truth: In fact, the microporous material is applied to cotton or polyester. Thanks to this combination, this material can "breathe" freely. The air permeability of an artificial analog is often several times higher than that of real leather.

Myth #4: Eco-Leather is Too Stiff

Truth: Some people believe that any substitute for real leather will be too stiff. The quality of an artificial analog depends on the thickness of the polyurethane material.

In addition, eco-leather is pleasant to the touch. Due to this feature, it is often mistaken for real leather.

Myth #5: Its Production is Environmentally Damaging

Truth: In fact, the production of eco-leather is much cleaner than real leather production. Animal hides undergo special multi-stage processing to make a product from real leather. Synthetic leather analogs are produced in specially closed industrial facilities.

Eco-leather is very popular among bag manufacturers. For example, in 2017, the fashion brand Louis Vuitton presented its new collection of surprisingly soft bags made from this material. The main advice when buying furniture and accessories made from this material is to choose reliable sellers.

Caring for Faux Leather Cord Jewelry

Leather jewelry must be carefully protected from stains, as cleaning them can be very difficult or impossible. Choose cleaning agents that do not remove the leather’s natural shine.

Test the cleaner first on a small hidden area. Observe whether the leather changes its color and surface. If everything is fine—go ahead!

To improve the appearance of weathered leather jewelry, use balms with fats and oils. They naturally penetrate the pores of the leather and restore its flexibility. Under no circumstances should you use products containing petroleum and mineral oils—they can permanently damage the appearance of your jewelry.

A trick to easily refresh your jewelry at home is to apply a thin layer of a previously prepared mixture of water, alcohol, and dish soap. The proportion of the individual components depends on the thickness of the leather being treated.

To preserve the attractive appearance of the leather for longer, avoid getting the jewelry wet and keep it away from heat sources. Otherwise, the shapes may stretch and deform.
