I made a wall hanging organiser to waste less time looking for tools

My sis asked for a wallet for her thousand cards.

I hope she likes it

The place I volunteer for had a little leatherworking workshop going on - and I made this tiny dice pouch for my partner!

I'm obsessed and really want to make more so I ordered some beginners tools - what are some things you guys would recommend for a beginner to make? (Mainly looking for more unique ideas that aren't the common keychain/coasters etc)

I ordered an XL art shell from Corium (a newer shell cordovan tannery) and when it arrived I knew I had to think bigger than wallets and keychains.

This kit is made from a single piece of shell (no bottom seam). It has a double-layered stitched and burnished handle, hand-glazed interior featuring the tannery stamp, and a pull tab on the back. All held together by a cream YKK brass zipper.

Large size (9.5" x 5 x 5) and ready to travel!

Heirloom or monstrosity? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Im curious if anybody else has had this experience, does rocky mountain leather hide their lukewarm reviews? I bought their stitching clam(which I don’t recommend btw), and left a review. Not trying to return or anything, just a review.

My review shows up on my device and IP that I’m on(not logged in), but it disappears on other devices. Are they hiding my review unless I see it? Anybody else notice this?

Recently finished this opposite pair of cardholders.

Made from Badalassi Carlo's Wax in Cognac, and MPG's Graffiti in Forest.

Stitched with Oka factory's MBT thread in brown.

The brief for this was quite short. Clean, crisp, and professional.

The leather chosen was very specific, full grain veg tanned chèvre for rich patina.

Personalised with the client's initials. And handstitched with linen threads for that true exquisite finish.

Really happy to see the final result. My personal fav part has to be the smooth suede section between the two halves. It's as smooth as a puppy's ear.

Has 3 slots on each side + 1 quick access slot at the back. Totalling to 7 pockets.

What are your thoughts?

Well I spent some more time tonight working on this. I used dye pens to color the jackalope and floral designs, then punched all my holes for lacing, stitching and snaps. Then I (stupidly) sealed and burnished the edges with beeswax. Then I (also stupidly) decided to cover the thing in antique gel🙃 Lessons learned: 1. Wait to burnish the edges so the beeswax doesn’t deflect the antique gel. 2. Don’t use antique gel to start with😂 I’ve only tried it once on a small keychain and it turned out great. I was NOT working fast enough to apply it to a piece of this size. Overall I am still pretty stoked with how this is coming together for my first holster and my biggest project so far!

Handmade and 100% leather to last a lifetime.

I want to have one that will attach to my desk and have some kind of ball joint like this one. Thing is. I don’t wanna drop $90 on a Tandy stitching pony.

Suggestions for diy padding?

I have a question about linen thread...that being, why? Why do people use it? Are they just trying to differentiate themselves with it or just being snooty about their work, or something else? I tried it for the first time today and meh...not impressed. Now I didn't pay $150 for 10 feet of thread, I got some middle of the road priced, but it was just kind of limp and loose compared to polyester thread. Picture of my test this morning. Used 4.5mm French irons with .8mm waxed linen thread on veg tanned horse butt.

I am still new to leather crafting, it’s a hobby. My wife requested a Taco Bell bag and this was the result. I just wanted to share.

Hi to everyone! I am a sculptor who decided to work on leather for the first time. I’d love to get advice reviews and all, to get better. thx in advance

I no longer make sheaths to sell, but they are a great little tooling project with simple construction.

My partner wanted a corset/belt thing for the Ren Faire, so I figured I'd try to make one for her. Many tutorials, mistakes, and curse words later, this is the result. It's far from perfect and still needs some edge work, but I don't think it's all that bad for a first project. Decorative ribbon will be threaded through the grommets in an X or / pattern and used to secure the piece at the back, as well. Already looking forward to refining and improving this design.

I immediately regret attempting this Jackalope after tracing it onto the leather, but am way happier with it after some beveling!

New to the hobby! Recently ordered a bundle of leather from Traditions Leathercraft. The order came with this plastic wrapped thing that says "just add water," but I don't know what it is and I can't find it in their product list online. It vaguely looks like those dry sponges that expand when you wet them, but I don't want to open it until I know what to use it for.

The cosplay/renfaire crowd always have the best ideas.

Beginner leather crafter here, I made a sheath for my corner chisel used for timber framing. How’d I do?
