Cut Figures On Leather

[3ntin]

Hi folks!

I was wandering how I could cut leather to achieve a result like this http://www.outblush.com/women/fashion/jewelry/butterfly-leather-cuff-/

I read it can be done with the pyrograph, but I really don't know how...

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Once you make your pattern, . . . punch each end with a round hole, . . . then razor cut or roller cut (be careful !!!) between the holes.

We do the same thing to make Roman sandals,............ the picture is the pattern used to create the sandals.

May God bless,

I'd do that on a scroll saw.

Ohhh, never thought of scroll sawing leather.

Gonna fire up the Excalibur for that soon!!

Wow Dwight I would love to see what those sandles look like made up! I would like to make myself a pair someday. I had bought a second hand pair that where used in the movie Alexander but they never fit my feet right as they where custom made for the actor who wore them. I have often looked at articles about them on line. Never seen anyone try to make them. Very cool :-)
