I have burnt a verse on some hard leather fro my hubby and he wants it framed. Can someone tell me how to do it please? Preferably a tutorial to follow?

I am sorry these are not western style but you are welcome to have them. You cover the postage? It will be coming from SA.

HI , Thanks so much. Thats perfect. What is the minimum thickness one can tool or stamp on? Rookie

Hi all, Begging to use your know how again. I want to make a visitors book for our boat. The idea is to use normal A4 size paper with a screw bolt (not sure if that is what it would be called) but so that you can add papers when necessay. I thought if I used two pieces of hard board or something. Padded them and covered them in engraved Leather with name etc. (very ambitios for this beginner) Then the screws would go through that and right through the papers to hold it together. These are my questions: Is there a way I can still give it a spine of sorts to make it look more finished but still have access to use screws and allow for extra paper? How to I punch the paper for the screws without sitting with a paper punch for hours? Can it be drilled through? Can someone explain to me the weight of leather and how to choose which one is best to stampoing etc. I know most of it is worked in ounches and stuff but I am metric is ther a metric explanantion. So if leather is 0.3oz what does that mean? Thanks, hope someone can help. Regards Alison

No pattern or pictures on mine either

Wow! Great tutorial, beautifully displayed and explained. Thank you.

I have another question while I am here I am making a credit card holder for a friend and want to dye it but do not want the intered stiffener piece I have covered in leather to also get stained. But the main pieces must be well covered. Is there any reason I can't dye it before I put it together and sew it?

Hi All I have tried many times to get a press stud to stay on my item. Everytime ist seems attached but after one or two uses it pulls out. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong Any tips? Thanks:helpsmilie:

I mean Mwah! No way to say it better, You guys are great. Thank you all SOOO much. Will definately post results.

I want to make a leather cover for our boats log book. It is A4 size only about 1cm thick and has soft cover. The soft cover makes me unsure what the best option would be. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Storm, Great tut thanks. I also couldn't download the pattern I am keep to do one that I printed a name on but obviously one doesn't want to go huge...lol Like the person's yachts name or something! Any tips? Alison

Thank you both for your reply. The answers lead to another question! I was told you just damp the surface of the leather before you stamp just wet enough that it starts to change color, but from the posts I have read and your answers it siounds s if the leather is wetter than that! How wet should I make it?

Hi all, If I am planning to dye a belt I want to stamp a design onto which do I do first? Stamp or dye? Help?

I made a friend a purse for her birthday. Stamped Roses onto it with her initial and tried to paint them. What a disaster!!! I don't kow if the roses were too small (I paint on canvass and never had a problem) It was totally horrible now I must start again. Does anyone else paint a stamped picture or how would one do it. A purse is not very big. Slghtly bigger than credit card. It was a special request to hold a card and a few notes only and slip into a jean pocket without making a lump. So small and very flat! The stamps did not make a deep impression hence my decision to paint them. Bad move.. Any suggestions?? Thanks Alison
