Braided soutache cords were originally used to embellish clothing, especially military uniform; this book presents 18 designs that use them to make embroidered jewellery and accessories, including earrings, brooches and headbands. A gallery of finished work provides inspiration while the practical guide explains the stitching techniques and how to incorporate beads, crystals and cabochons.
Discover Soutache, the art of creating modern and unique jewellery from looped braids.
Donatella Ciotti shows you how to create stunning, expensive-looking costume jewellery, from earrings and bracelets to brooches for hats, with full-colour, detailed photography to guide you through each process. There is even a gallery of images at the end of the book to inspire you to create your own, bespoke soutache masterpieces.
Learn about the history of jewellery crafting and the ever-growing trend for affordable yet stylish costume jewellery, before trying your hand at your own soutache pieces. Begin with the basic techniques of finishing and sewing the cords and inserting pearls and cabochons or cameos, discover the secrets behind coiling your soutache braids to make buttons, then begin to make bracelets, rings, headbands and much more.
Your soutache creations will be eye-catching and entirely unique to you!
