8" x 8" square of Ultrasuede, or other imitation suede fabric.The copper sheets are thin enough that they can be cut with just an ordinary pair of craft scissors, so the design possibilities are endless! And if you feel comfortable working with wire and making wire jewelry with your basic wire wrapping skills, you can make this very cool rustic-style beaded cuff. Now, I never particularly enjoyed doing traditional embroidery with thread and fabric, but when I saw these cool tutorials in Kerry Bogert's new book, Rustic Wrappings, I just had to give it a try using some of these cool copper sheets I found at Bead Fest Philadelphia from Lilly Pilly designs! And now that I'm cranking along with my wire wrapping skills and feel confident making my own custom clasps and jewelry findings, I'm starting to experiment more with metals in my jewelry making and wire wrapping projects. I love the way it softens the look of metals and wire by mixing them with soft suede fabrics, leather, and silk cords. I don't know about anyone else, but lately, I'm really getting into make rustic-style jewelry.

These very cool 36 gauge copper sheets from Lilly Pilly Designs open up a whole new world of design possibilities!Ĭhain stitch using wire makes a great decorative element when working with rustic style jewelry designs.
