Hi MagiKelly,

This is an old post, but I am fairly new to the forum.

When I first saw what you have done I just had to try my hand at making a bag!

I have made use of a mould with a push down rectangle which I just clamp down. It saves me all the effort to cut into the leather and to nail it down.

Here is my version of your inspiring tutorial.

Thanks for sharing it with so many people all over the world - I am from South Africa

Regards

If it inspired you to have a go then I'm happy.

I've mostly seen the option of using an inverted form to hold it in shape while the leather dries but I lacked the skill to make one so went down the nailing it route. But whatever works for you is the way to go

But you need a form mould firstly, you can go to our website to take a look, we product different leather moulds

This is seriously fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial :D
Very much going to try this.... as soon as I can get myself a form... wondering if I can use a big ol' book or two... we shall see!

I'm so glad people are still finding this useful. I feel a bit guilty I've not done another tutorial since. I must break out the camera for the next journal I do.

Thanks very much!

I'm so pleased people are still finding this useful. I feel slightly guilty I never followed it up with any more tutorials but I have resolved that I will photograph by next book project in detail and write up a detailed tutorial. Hopefully that will be as well received as this one.
