What Do You Do With Your Scrap Leather?

[StrigaMort]

Anyone have a couple of feet of 4oz veg tanned I'd be happy to pay you for it. Shoot me an email if you'd like.

same as quirtevans, most of mine used to set up sewing machine and test mixed colours on.......

I make business cards out of small scraps. I burn my mark into them along with the pertinent info on how to reach me.

That is a great idea!

sort the small pieces from the big pieces... bag them and sell them on ebay...

I am going to start and glue the pieces together like a puzzle. It would look nice for a book cover or something.

At the moment I glue some of them up, and practice my awl and stitching on them. The rest that are bigger pieces, I will save for later and turn into key fobs and other smaller projects.

key fobs... strap keepers... leather bookmarks.... and kids bracelets

This is a great thread. Aside from the earlier rudeness, it's been a great resource. I bought some good leather that I'd have had to buy a lot more of just to try and made a friend in the process.

As for my scraps, I've been making small rounds that I put my stamp on. I need some of those little ball chains to attach them to my sheaths. The customer can toss them or use them for a key chain.

do any of you have scraps of black patent leather? I would like some pieces 7" x 3" or even 4 x 4 pieces would work for me. I don't need but just 3 or 4 pieces this size
