Video Guide to Making an Exotic Leather Pen Case

[cicftaiwan]

Using exotic leather on your leatherwork can give your craft a very eye-catching look and add value and interest in what you are making. In this video tutorial see how I use alligator skin to give a simple pencil case a whole new look and feel. If alligator skin is not your thing, then you could use a wide variety of other leather types or materials in it's place to make it unique. Regardless, what I love about handmade leather goods is that in the end you have something that will most likely be with you for a lifetime and carry a story with it. 
If you'd like to try your hand and making this project a printable PDF pattern with instructions and materials I used to make this project can be downloaded from my website at www.fischerworkshops.com

I watched this video of yours, actually have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time now. Really great work! And excellent video production, it really helps people to learn, and to show what goes into making something like this.

I'm also a big fan of your medicine bag, they are really awesome!

It's called UHU power cement. It's from Germany, but it's easy to control and cleanup, but sometimes I need to rely on a stronger adhesive for more demanding projects...
