We are getting a little giddy over handmade jewelry at the moment and have a ton of projects and inspiration that we plan to share with you over the next few months. None of us in the studio are seasoned jewelry makers so all our projects will be simple to achieve and great to wear. Handmade jewelry makes a great, inexpensive treat for yourself or is the perfect gift for a friend or loved one. We kicked off our jewelry series with this gorgeous felt ball necklace and continue it today with these gorgeous leather feather earrings and necklace which we made in an afternoon. We picked up a small bundle of leather scraps from our local fabric store which make just the most perfect feathers for our earrings and necklace. We have provided templates below for members which you can resize if you want to go a little bigger or smaller. We cut our leather with regular fabric scissors and added the gold detail using a great new product we found – a gold leaf pen – which is super easy to use and looks amazing on the leather. The gold drop beads on the front of the earrings and necklace were put together using a mix of chain, beads and wire. All you need to create this part of the jewelry is a pair of jewelry pliers and a steady hand so don’t be put off – it’s very easy to achieve and is super satisfying to make something so unique.
The team and I are utterly in love. Use our images below to inspire your own leather feather earrings and necklace then share them with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using the #MadeWithLia hashtag. Enjoy! ~ Lia & team

Beautiful earrings. What type of marker do you use for gold? Also do you spray them to protect from smearing in the future?
Thank you! I just updated the link to the gold leafing pen we used (https://amzn.to/3tmSCS9). We did not spray them but you could.
Hi Lia, is there a svg file? I logged in but only see the template file. Thanks
Hi Tara! This project was created before the Maker came out (which is why there wasn’t an SVG). However, I just added it to the project to download!
I’m not seeing a button to download the SVG, I see the free paper template though. The download button is just for the free paper template.
Hi Allison, this project was created before the Maker came out (which is why there wasn’t an SVG). But we did just create the SVG for you to download 🙂
This is very misleading. I thought I could download the feather earrings and necklace SVG.
The button is there to download. Do I have to be a MEMBER to access this file?
Confused.
Hi Merry, yes! Our patterns and templates are available with a paid membership (https://liagriffith.com/membership/). We do offer quite a few freebies (https://liagriffith.com/craft/freebies-2/), but this is not one of them.
I don’t see the template. Is there somewhere to get it?
Look at the bottom of the post– there’s a button to download the template.
Very nice work

Where do you get the leather?
We buy ours at a local leather shop (they have a lovely scrap bin perfect for small projects like this!) I have seen it available on Etsy, as well.
