Arizona based Barb Smith of BarbSmithDesigns wowed me before with her gorgeous bead and leather bracelet designs - see my past feature here. Her specialty is creating knotted leather cord bracelets, often with a Celtic flair, and wrapping beads into the design.
Intrepid DIYers will be pleased to know she has a special store called BarbSmithDesignsDIY for her tutorials, kits and supplies.
Her finishing technique is impeccable. Check out the other photos in her listings to see how beautifully she integrates the button clasps.
We can certainly learn a great deal about wrapped leather bracelet work from this talented designer!

I have always admired her designs! Thank you for sharing that she sells tutorials and kits! I may have to look for a birthday gift for myself! 💕
ReplyDeleteI like that she offers small and large sizes. I have tiny wrists and a lot of tutorials and kits are like 1.5-2 inches too long for me.
ReplyDeleteI love these!!
ReplyDeletebreathtaking! I do love a good knot as a design element; she nails it!
