One of the things I don't like about crafting all weekend is that hours go by and I am having so much fun I forget to eat. I just ate so now I can post this cute necklace charm I made based on this and about 40 other blog posts with similar tutorials. I should't even post this one as the example because her's is so much better than mine. I skipped like 4 of her steps and just glued pages in the leather cover.
Oh, and I cannot find my twin set of little pliers for the jump rings so I had to bend a little wire and make my own, but I sorta like it better this way. I am going to make more I think, this was just a rough draft. (My excuse for a crappy mobile phone photo? maybe...) I made another one with stiffer leather and sewed the pages together, I think I like that effect better. I do love the look of uneven pages. I am going to play around and I will post some more when I make them. It might be a while but I got a ton of leather scraps (mostly burgundy) so I will have fun with them before they get thrown in a pile along with my felt and other recently-unloved craft supplies.
