Making your own bails surely ups the ante on unique jewelry designs. I usually make them from wire but I did have enormous fun designing a square knotted one for
this tagua bead and button pendant a while ago. So you can imagine my delight when I came across
this tutorial by Fabienne over on the Terra Deffa blog, a simple but beautiful leather bail for polymer clay pendants.
The designer makes lovely polymer clay pendants, sometimes with 3 holes so her custom and contemporary look leather bail method really works well.
The blog is in French without much relevant text. The actual tutorial is a video in the post. You may need to replay the video a few times to get how it is done.
Although the tutorial was written for polymer clay, you can still use this idea for say donut pendants, resin clay or even shrink plastic pendants where you can make multiple holes. Did I miss any other ideas out?
