DIY: Tribal Print Leather Bracelet

Ok, I think it’s time I tell you something about myself.

Most of the time when I tell people about this, the looks on their faces say they don’t believe me. But it’s true. For a long time I didn’t believe it. My mom told me about it and she said people didn’t believe her either.

But it’s true. It really is!

And I’m quite proud of the fact that I’m a direct descendant of Pocahontas.

Yep, that’s right, I came right down the pike from the daughter of Powatan, the Paramount Chief of Tsenacommacah.

My great grandfather made a family tree for my great grandmother and when I was lucky enough to inherit it, we did a little on-line research to make sure it was true and it is!!!

You see Pocahontas married John Rolfe and they had Thomas Rolfe who married Jane Poythress and they had Jane Rolfe who married Robert Bolling and they had John Bolling who married Mary Kennan and they had Jane Bolling who married Richard Randolph and they had Mary Randolph who married Archibald Cary and they had Anne Cary who married Thomas Mann Randolph and they had William Randolph who married Lucy Bolling Randolph and they had Thomas Beverley Randolph who married Maria Barbara Mayer who had Martha Elizabeth Randolph who married John High Keim who had deBenneville Randolph Keim who married Jane Owen Keim who had Elizabeth Randolph Keim who married Charles Willauer Kutz and they had Marian Elizabeth Kutz who married Louis Tenney Ross and they had Katharine Randolph Ross who married Charles Franklin Crichton and they had

ME!

How cool is that!

So I figured since I have a wee bit of Native American blood flowing through my veins, I would be qualified to create a leather tribal print bracelet tutorial for you. :)

I do hope Pocahontas would be proud…..

And I do hope you’ll check out the tutorial here. I’ll be giving this leather bracelet away on Saturday, March 22 to one lucky pinner and you know how much I love comments, too. Hint, hint:)
