Artbeads Cafe - Making Leather and Gemstone Bracelets with Candie Cooper and Cynthia Kimura

This week, Cynthia is joined by renowned jewelry artist Candie Cooper to make leather and gemstone bracelets. Find the items featured in this video here: www.artbeads.c.... Using large-hole beads from Dakota Stones and TierraCast spacers, Candie decorates strands of leather from Leather Cord USA and finishes it off with a Glu-N-Go clasp. Watch the video to learn how to make one for yourself.

I love this design, especially the fact that it looks like it takes a lot longer to make! The gemstone & leather Boho look is "in" now but Candie's design--even several years down the line from when this video was first made--is a fresh take. And, you can't go wrong with TierraCast components. Thanks, Candie & Cynthia, for another great design and video!

I love love love Candie Cooper. I have learned more about jewelry making from her than anyone. She is an 'Artist's Artist' and always inspires me to relax and have FUN with my jewelry making. I should write and tell her that. 🤗

Great idea! I had come up with something similar last year for some summer bracelets, but I really like this one. I think I might give it a shot!

Love the bracelet! I must give it a try.

Beautiful bracelet! Thanks for sharing! Greetings,

I like the ease of the directions with this bracelet. The tip to cut the leather tips at an angle is very helpful. I will try the Glue and Go endings.

[@ninarios186]

I love the bracelet! I'm just waiting for the supplies to get in!

[@almastewart3552]

If I may ask, where did you get your supplies from?

There’s some reason that everywhere in Art Beads including this video, you refer to the beads as “large hole beads” and never never never give the size of the bead. Is it an 8 mm or is it a 6 mm or is it a 10 mm? Please.

[@ArtbeadsVideos]

Large-hole beads have varying hole sizes depending on what beads you are using. Typically, large-hole beads tend to be 1.5mm holes and larger. We do provide measurements of hole sizes on item pages for the large-hole beads we carry. You'll want to make sure the hole of your bead is large enough to work with whatever stringing material you are using. You can see what large-hole beads we have available here: artbeads.com/large-hole-beads-sliders/
