I still love the idea though and " the permit " Yea that would be tough to carve. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted October 15, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted October 15, 2022 Very nice wee purse. Excellent use of 'scrap'. But as we know, there is no 'scrap' in leather crafting. Every sq mm can be used in some way Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I just got done making a drawing pad cover and every time I made a cut I would hold the piece up, look at it, almost throw it in the trash box, and then think, "Nah, that'll come in handy later!"

Members Gezzer Posted October 17, 2022 Members Report Posted October 17, 2022 You can make some stuff out of real small pieces . I have thought about saving the drops from my hole punch and if I ever think of some way to use them ... I will . Quote

One thing I was thinking about was gluing them together and then trying to "round" them and make leather beads if you will but haven't actually attempted it yet... Quote

I wonder if you could glue them up good like @Chux said and then put them in a round bullet mold to form them and dry. You'd probably have to coat the mold with something so they wouldn't stick. Then you could take a small drill bit and make some holes. Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted March 26, 2023 Members Report Posted March 26, 2023 New batch of key fobs for Vets. They take a while to make because there made from left over scrap. I make 1 or 2 some times more at a time. Quote
