As any craft-loving do-it-yourself fanatic might know, it\u2019s easy to accumulate piles of leftover fabric. Instead of throwing them out, upcycle scraps of faux leather fabric for cool do it yourself tutorials. DeliaCreates<\/a> came up with a clever idea, using her leather scrap fabric to create an on-trend leather bead necklace.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gather your scraps of leather, a pair of scissors, matching thread, a sewing needle that’s durable enough for working with leather, and a necklace chain of your desired length.<\/li>\n
  2. For starters, think about your overall design. If you want to follow the tutorial, work on cutting out circles for a beaded look, or diamonds for a more geometric style.<\/li>\n
  3. Fold the beads in half and sew together with a 3\/8 to 1\/2 inch seam allowance. If you want to have a clean edge, make the stitch 3 mm or 3.5 mm.<\/li>\n
  4. Back stitch at the beginning and then stop. Repeat for each bead and then thread them through the necklace chain. Voila, you’re all set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Who knew that incorporating a few pieces of leather scraps could be totally chic? Create a monotone colored necklace in black or brown, or add a pop of color by alternating different hues. You can even change the overall bead design for added texture and variety. Nab some faux leather fabric<\/a>\u00a0and a necklace jewelry kit<\/a> to create a few of these OMG-worthy\u2014and wallet-saving\u2014edgy beaded necklaces.<\/p>\n
