Half-Inch Small Teardrop Pendants, 13x11mm Upcycled Leather Die Cuts (20 pairs)

0.5” teardrop pendants measure a tiny 0.5" long and 0.4" wide at the bottom. These die cut pieces are top grain leather, handmade by me from scraps of high quality Italian cowhide. Pieces are approximately 1.5mm thick and flexible, but not droopy. Use them as layered components of bold earring dangles or to embellish anything from a hat to a special greeting card. Cut edges are unfinished and may have fuzz on the edges that can be trimmed with sharp scissors or filed with an emery board for a smoother look. A small hole at the narrow end makes it easy to add components, such as jump rings, dangles, and ear wires.

Depending on the scraps I have to work with, leather may be smooth, pebbled, distressed, or embossed. Colors range from understated earth tones (browns and grays) to vivid hues (like acid green or cheerful cherry red). Vegetable tan pieces are tooling leather, which is a bit stiffer, but the best choice for stamping, embossing, painting, and even dyeing. As these are made from a single thickness of natural cowhide, the finish is only on the front.

You will receive a 20 pairs in your choice of either assorted colors (see photos) or a single color. Single color lot is currently available in pinkish beige vegetable tan. Special requests are always welcome, but may take additional time to prepare.
