Best leather cord for jewelry making

Here, we will talk about the best leather cords you can use for making your own jewelry. Among the best leather cords, there is the Greek leather cord. Why the Greek leather cord ?  Because when it comes to leather cord, Greek leather is of the highest quality. It’s known for  its smooth finish, consistent color and supple texture. The Greek leather cord is therefore perfect for beading applications and Native American  designs.  Another one is the Indian leather cord because its ideal for stringing large hole beads, or  beads too large for regular cord such as clay, wood, metal and bone for example. 

Durable and beautiful, braided leather is also perfect for men's or women's chokers and  other necklaces. You can also make stunning bracelets with this fabulous stringing material. Let the beautiful texture of braided leather inspire your designs ! It's a great option for  Western themes or rustic looks, and always pairs well with gemstone beads. There’s two type of braided leather cord : flat braided leather and round braided leather : 

➢ The first one is the perfect way to add texture to your designs.  You'll love the way each one stands out in your designs. Use this flat leather braid as the  base of a simple choker or cuff, or embellish it with seed beads, dangles, and more. It's  perfect for adding a rustic feel to your projects.

➢ The second one is durable and beautiful. It’s perfect for men's or women's chokers and necklaces. You can also make stunning  bracelets with this fabulous material. It features a round cord dimension that would work  well in chunky looks, along with large-hole beads. Another great type of leather cord is the flat leather cord, perfect for creating stylish and  modern designs. Although this leather is wide enough to create a bold presentation in necklace and bracelet  designs, the flat dimension still remains unnoticeable. The round leather cord is also very commonly used by many because its great for braiding,  beading, necklaces, fine lacing, earrings, hair ornamentation, hatbands and more. It is a very  strong, flexible, and soft material, making it quite versatile in that it can be both decorative  and functional, depending on how it’s used. Round leather will give your jewelry-making  projects a stand-out start !New idea of leather to create your jewelry : sheet leather. With a leather cord made in sheet 

 leather, you can add soft texture to your designs. Moreover, this material is easy to work  with and great for embellishing mixed media designs. You can use the sheet leather cord in many different ways such as gluing it onto bracelet  cuffs, embellish it with seed beads, or use it to create a fringe tassel. It also makes an  excellent backing for bead embroidered pieces. There are so many possibilities with this  versatile material !

We can also, and finally, cite faux leather cord, a.k.a. imitation leather cord. It is made as a  substitute for real leather and has the look and feel you want in traditional leather and in  addition, anything that is made typically with leather can be made with faux leather.  Many advantages come by using the faux leather to make your own jewelry (or other  fashion accessories such as jackets, shoes, or bags). One of them is the price, the leather 

being usually a high-quality material, the price may be high too. So imitation leather is a  good alternative to leather.
