Made a sheath for my 8 year old nephew's first knife.
The kid is into Lord of the Rings so made it look 'elfish', and even gilded the carving with 23 karat gold leaf.

Nice work. How did you attach the gold leaf?

Traditional method, I guess. Was my first time so not sure...didn't use the bookbinding method though.
But I used acrylic glue/sizing, applied twice with 24 hours in between then on with the gold leaf. I hope it will hold up.
