Original ideas that are simple to implement are beautiful necklaces and leather necklaces that are easy to make with your own hands.
1. Leather Fringe Necklace
The necklace is made quite simply, and the result is gorgeous. You will need leather (as an option - artificial, but natural, soft, not too thin it will look better), a metal ruler, a scalpel or a breadboard knife and a mat-pad. For a fastener - a chain and a lock. Cut a semicircular part from the skin. The blank can also be made in a rectangular shape, then the fringe will turn out a little less. Lay out the skin on the rug and use a scalpel and knife to cut it into strips of the same width, departing from the top edge of 0.7 cm. At the ends of the necklace, make holes where you attach the chain with a lock.

2. Necklace with leather leaves
For such decoration you need leather, a rather rigid thin wire and thin-nose pliers for working with it, small beads or beads, a leather needle, a chain and a lock. We cut identical triangles from the skin, on each of them we cut off the ends at two corners. Having collected each triangle with an accordion, we pierce with a needle and string it on a wire. The leaves are interspersed with beads or beads.We bend the ends of the wire into rings and attach a chain with a lock to them.

3. Wicker choker with a "tail"
A long tail turns a simple choker into an interesting decoration. To make it, you need 2 long thin strips of leather or suede and a stick or pencil. Fold the strips in half, throw them over the fixed stick and weave the necklace, as shown in the photo. Having reached the desired length, tie a knot. To fix the jewelry on the neck, the "tail" must be threaded into a loop.

4. Simple neck pendant
More precisely, whether this jewelry will be a pendant or a necklace depends on the size and shape of the figure that you cut from the skin. It is better to take the skin dense and thick enough, it is easiest to cut with a scalpel or a breadboard knife. On the edges of the leather part, make holes and fix on them a chain with a lock divided into two parts.

5. Leather pendant - "diamond"
An option similar to the previous one, but more complicated. A “diamond” is made from pieces of leather in slightly different colors. The basis is also skin.

6. Leather collar "Peter Pan"
The cute and modest collar "Peter Pan", usually decorating dresses or blouses, looks completely different if it is made of leather and worn like a necklace, decorating it with an open neck. Draw a pattern (for example, focus on the collar described here), cut the inside of the parts with a model knife or simple scissors, and the outer ones with zigzag curly scissors. Make holes in the corners of the parts. Fasten the parts with a metal ring on the front, and fasten the lock on the back.

7. "Prickly" leather necklace
An unusual accessory in the style of Anne Demelmeister, a necklace with "thorns", which can also be worn as a bracelet. A rather soft, plastic, non-thick skin is best. On the wrong side of it, draw a strip and the "spines" extending from it, cut it out. Cut another strip of the same, already without thorns. Slightly stretching, twist each strip into a tourniquet and weave them together. Fasten the ends with wire and fasten the lock.
