DIY Leather Lariat with Peacock Feather

*Note: I made this in 2009 with my gold baubles necklace

A couple weeks ago while making my chain tassel necklaces, I remembered that 100 years ago I made leather bead necklaces that Fred Segal on Melrose bought and sold out of. They were basically long strands of leather with a few choice beads at the ends and meant for anything really: necklace, belt, bracelet, curtain tie, you name it, you could use it. Then just recently I noticed the Louis Vuitton Spring 2009 collection featured very similar creations …adding a feather at the end. So here is a new version of my original design now inspired by Louis Vuitton.

Have Fun!
