The mat I used is textured silicone with the leather look. I got it online, either Amazon or Ebay. Yes, folks do think it’s leather. This is pliable as the cuff will open wide and not break ( a problem I had when making thicker cuffs). Have fun trying yours!

I would have never guessed you used Polymer Clay unless you mentioned it. Did you mean you used a leather mat to imprint the design? Where do you get them?

I’ve made several textured barrettes from polymer clay that people asked if were made of leather. I guess I didn’t realize what I had made until another pair of eyes viewed my work. I’m going to try your technique on a pendant and set of earrings, too. Love it!

Thank you for your comments 🙂 . This was my first try at the leather look, I even amazed myself! I think all artisans probably amaze themselves from time to time with their work. Everyone is surprised that it isn’t leather. Again, thank you. I always look forward to your journal emails. Blessings!

If you hadn’t mentioned it was made from polymer clay, I would have assumed it was genuine leather. The colors, textures, and designs look very real. And thanks for sharing the interesting background of how the leather look was created!
