Following up on my post from last week ... wanted to share my progress on my leather-crafting hobby.
Last week, as you all remember, I started with something extremely simple ... a leather tray! I've used some hardware to pinch each of the corners, but added stitching around the edges to add some "FLAVA." You can click my profile for a photo of it.
This weekend, I've cooked up a few things ... first made the business card holder, then a key holder, and lastly a billfold wallet.
Even though, I've made this last ... I'mma start by talking about the billfold wallet -- it took about 8 hours for me to make -- which took a lot longer than expected since this was kind of a trial and error project, and I've crafted this without a template. I would definitely recommend using a template while creating these complex items, so your product comes out a lot cleaner.
As for the business card holder, it only took few hours for me to make, and it came out really nice considering this was my second piece I've ever made. Soon after, I've created a key holder which is clearly the simplest item, but wanted to throw it in the picture for you to see.
Want to hear your thoughts on the new items I've made, so please hit me with any comments, questions, etc.
