Fun Wedding Gift

[Newbee]

This book was meant to be fun and personal. I'm still learning, but having a lot of fun, when I can find a little time to work with leather. Daisy is their dog..I guess you figured that our already. I had to do this in a hurried manner so I made a couple more mistakes than I normally would have. I can't figure out how to end the lace properly.

Nice book! I'm sure they'll treasure it! As far as ending the lacing go back to the instructions and make sure every step is taken. I know that it's not easy to end. It's been a struggle for me in the past.

What a great idea, Newbee.!! Simple, but so personal at the same time..

Can I ask how are the pictures done.?

I have a link to Kingsmere Crafts, which may help you with your lacing..

Thanks for all the compliments! I will search on you tube for video. Seeing is sometimes a lot easier. For the pictures, I used the method that 2-Shews explains in his video. He charges $25/00 for the video, which I ordered from a post here at Leatherworker.net. He uses a product called Picture It by Plaid. It is does not transfer perfect, but better than anything else I have tried. The technique he uses is amazing, and as bad as I hated to hand over $25.00, it was worth every penny! I will check out kingmere craft also. This site has been so valuable!
