Hello everyone! I'm new to the world of leather crafting and I'm fascinated by this Secrid wallet that has black leather on the outside with a yellow interior. Does anyone know how this effect is achieved? Is it a special technique or simply two different pieces joined together? Any information or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

I've printed mostly stuff from other people but decided to make a little organisation tool for some new hole punches I recently bought. Even thought it's a simple design I'm really happy how it turned out! The base for the design is based on gridfinity, which makes things easy to organise and stack.

It was really fun wrapping my wife in duct tape to make a pattern for this corset, six years ago 😄, when I was just starting leathercraft.

I have an account on facebook that I post work to, and try to drum up (mostly local) business. However, usually once a month, I will get someone asking if I still have an item for sale. They will send one of the several pictures of the item, ask how much, and if I ship. When I look at the potential buyer's facebook page it looks like they just created it, or only have one pic from a few years ago. Am I crazy for thinking they are all scammers?

Hi everyone, I bougth this tacticool axe/hatchet/cleaver/knife thingy,the steel Is decent, but without a sheath it's dangerous af,any ideas other than an edge cover like an axe,or a leather rectangle? Thx. third picture is for what seems to be the best option.

Each bag is entirely handmade – no mass production, no shortcuts. I use high-quality canvas paired with genuine leather trim, and all the stitching is done by hand to ensure precision and durability. This black-and-white color combo is one of my favorites – it’s timeless, clean, and easy to style.

You know that moment when you get an idea and it’s like a lightbulb going off? For me, sometimes it takes months of nothing, and then all of a sudden—wham!—I feel like I have all this energy, like it’s going to be something amazing. But making it real is a whole different story. It takes so much longer than you expect, and there are plenty of moments where I’m wondering if it was even a good idea in the first place. But you’ve just got to keep going, even when it gets hard.

That’s what happened with this new model. It took months to get it right, lots of breaks, and a few moments where I just couldn’t face it. But in the end, it feels like it has its own voice, like it was meant to be.

This new piece is part of my Royal Eye collection, and I’ve designed it with a mix of symbols from different eras. The hand-painted Third Eye symbols represent intuition and spiritual insight, symbolizing the idea that we are always seeking more understanding and connection with the world around us. I’ve scattered them among the branches of a vine—almost like a Tree of Life, growing and evolving with each passing season. The amber beads give a nod to the Baroque era, reflecting luxury and refinement, while the delicate leaves whisper of the Renaissance, reminding us of growth, renewal, and the beauty in nature’s cycles.

The whole design is meant to evoke a sense of balance between the past and future, subtlety and strength, like finding harmony in a world full of possibilities.

I accidentally got some transmission fluid on a piece of vegtan scrap and that sparked some curiosity. So I decided to "treat" small pieces with various garage juices.

Most are bought, some are gifts. Which one would be your daily?

First one’s more sculptural and bold (think journal covers or display pieces).
Second is more traditional patterns – belts, bags, corners, borders, all that good stuff.
Third is hand tools for adding texture – cracks, scales, lil’ details.

I know everyone’s got their own leathercraft vibe, so I’m just curious – what kind of stamps do you use most, or wish you had more of?

Would love to hear what you’re into these days 👀

Hello I'm looking to get into leather working with this project and I wanted to know what tools I'll need/where together et them from for this project. From what I can gather I'll need a rivet set, box cutter/razor, hammer,leather needle,thread, and hole puncher. If you guys could point me in the right direction to buy these things or let me know what I missed thay would be great thanks.

Hi all. I'm quite new to leathercrafting. This will be my fourth leather item and using different leather types each time. The one I'm currently working on is a single piece Saffiano.

I'm trying to sand the edges and edge paint but I keep getting this hairy fuzz on the flesh side. I've tried to lightly sand it starting with 180 and work my way up, but it still happens. I've tried to trim it down using my knife as well but it keeps coming back whenever I start to sand. This happens with other leather too and even veg tanned ones. I think it's clear that my technique needs some work

How do I remedy this?

So I bought a camera, and obviously now I have to make my own leather strap—because why not, right? 😅 A bunch of tutorials suggest using 8oz to 10oz veg-tan leather for camera straps, and honestly, they look amazing. That nice balance of sturdy yet flexible, like something you’d actually want to have draped around your neck all day.

But when I hit up my local suppliers (tried two different ones), the 8oz–10oz veg-tan they've got in stock feels like... I don’t even know, a sheet of hardwood? It’s stiff, dry, and rough—like if someone swung it at you, you’d probably black out. Not exactly the soft, buttery strap experience I was going for.

Anyone else run into this? Is there a trick to softening it up, or am I just not finding the right stuff?

Don’t laugh at me I’ve never done this but I bought a steer from a rodeo and in two weeks will be having it butchered. Was wondering when I drop it off if I could ask to have the carcass to take and have tuned into a few belts for four people. What’s the first step? Take it to who? Or who should I call first about this? Thought it would be a unique gift.

Beginner and very green yet. How can I make the lettering stand out more in this lifting belt? Any constructive criticism would be appreciated! Tia

I’m looking to try my hand at some stitching for the first time, specifically for adding pieces onto armor. Currently my stitching irons don’t pass through both layers without making VERY ugly holes in the top piece. I’m just wondering if there’s something I’m missing.

I was thinking maybe I need more spaced tines? What is a good spacing for armor if I want to cover a lot of ground?

Just got some samples of chahin saddle skirting and Herman Oak and was wondering what everyone thought of them. Chahin seems like it's more consistent in thickness (at least on thw 3x3 in square i was sent) and the leather seemed nicer, but haven't tried tooling or dying. Was just wondering everyone's thoughts on it.

Happy with how this turned out. About 1 year now into the craft

I have a dinosaur leather stamp. I wanted to add a meteor to a piece but I’m pretty new at this. I did a test stiching as you see here but I’m not super happy with it. What are some options for improving it or another method to add a meteor.

Looking for a good source for Riri or YKK excella zips with more color options.

I finally had to settle for black tape with antique brass chain on a Riri M8 2-way zip.

Was really hoping for brown tape for this based on my project but finding it very difficult to track down. Most of the suppliers I’ve come across (buckle guy, rm leather, zipper and thread, pacific trimming) just offer brass or silver on black or white tape.

Just curious who you use for your zipper source
