As you guys can see I made it so it can be worn as two separate pieces. I went with only one hand painted little portrait because the woman buying it wanted it that way :(  So, I get to keep the other two, yay me!

I don't know if you can tell from the picture but I mounted the canvas piece to a strip of leather. 

This is how I did it. I bought some soft leather , fabric glue, and  then went to work. 

 This is a picture of the back of the canvas piece after I mounted it to the leather. 

                                                               Here's a  side view,lol

                                                                                     

How to make a barbed wire necklace

A week ago I got commissioned  to make a necklace with a little red riding hood theme.I was  told  to make it with a dark theme. (think broken glass and barbed wire)  I found a tutorial on how to make barbed wire necklaces out of leather online. It was so easy I'll share it with you guys. 

All you'll need for this project is a yard of thin leather . I picked up cording leather.

It was 2.99 for 3 yards

                                           Take two feet your leather and folding it in half  and tie a knot on one end like I did.

                               Then  twist the two strips of leather together . 

                    When you reach the end you can knot off the other side. should look like this.

Next you'll take some of the left over leather and cut 3inch strips . Cut enough to go around the necklace.

             Then tie em around the necklace. when finished it should look something like this.

                                Next you'll trim the pieces down to give it a spiky look .

                                                                Well there you have it !..

Mine is actually going to be a necklace I just put it on my wrist to show you what it would look like when your done. You could make a bracelet as well:)  All work and images © Avabunny 2012
