biker55 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 Hello all, I just started leathercrafting and need some help on deciding what size and basketweave design for small cell phone case. I just want a traditional design, but I was on the tandy web site and there are several designs to choose from. thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted August 15, 2013 The size is arbitrary to your artistic interpretation. But as a general rule, on small items you use a small stamp. On big items you use a bigger stamp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) As a rule, I don't like to see basket stamping less than 4-5 rows high. Just to give you a starting point - since we don't know what you're callling 'small' -- two belts in the picture, both black so color doesn't figure in. Top one is 1 1/4" wide, and done with a 511. Bottom is 1 1 /2" wide, with a narrower border, and done with a 514. My personal preference, I would have used a smaller stamp on BOTH of these, 'tighten' it a bit.
