Barrettes! I made one for my wife (the yellow rose) and she suggested I make some for an upcoming church fundraiser. So I made two more, but with a celtic design and I experimented on the finish. They came out kinda cool, but not what I was expecting. Enjoy

Love your thingies Brent:-)

The color came out real vivid and nice and love the tooling.

Thanks to all for the kind words!

I really like the rose. How do you attach the leather to the barrett?

tjg: It's two layers. I riveted the clip (jewelry store blank) to the backing piece so the hair side is out. Then I tooled the top and contact cemented it to the back, thus covering the rivets. Then it's just trim & finish.

Nicely done! Love all these little project ideas, I present these to my wife as I am trying to get her involved in my leather obsession *Snicker* *Grin* :whistle:

Obsession! Indeed. I got so obsessed I made another rose barette and dyed red this time. The shading didn't come out as I'd hoped but still OK.

I like - would wear any of them in a heart beat
