Members DLBarr Posted January 10, 2012 Members Report Posted January 10, 2012 I want to make a folder to contain a 8-1/2x11" yellow pad. Tandy used to sell a kit for such an item but no longer. Does anyone know of a kit available or a pattern? Thanks Quote

Does anyone know of a kit available or a pattern? Thanks Tandy sold most of those for 39.99 at the year end sale. I picked up a couple to do later. But I am a true leather NOOB and want to practice before messing it up. There has to be someone here that can do a simi online class to show us how to make one (even the smaller size for the small yellow pads). For instance what do you use for the inside cover? I am trying to do oak leaves and be nice is they where included. thanks Texas Noob Quote

Ambassador pete Posted January 11, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted January 11, 2012 Chan Geer has a great dvd on notebooks. It's not for 8 1/2x11 but you can resize to fit and it really explains and shows the process wonderfully. Quote

I went to a guild meeting in my home town last night and Chan Geer donated a tooled album and wow does he do great work. I go look it up. As far as selling a kit sorry no my wife claimed one them my son so I dont even get one LOL Quote
Russ Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 You may want to pick up the Sept/Oct 2011 copy of the Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal. It has a nice tutorial on making a notepad cover project, by Billy Brown. I used it with little modification to make Christmas presents. If by "inside cover" you mean the lining leather, the tutorial suggests 1 or 2 oz leather. As a side note, I've tried to duplicate Chan Geer's articles tutorials on "Fun with Basket Stamping" and have never accomplished what he can do. I end up so frustrated. He's amazing with that stamp.
