Members Batman49 Posted July 2, 2018 Members Report Posted July 2, 2018 I am making a small pouch with a flap closure with 6-7 oz leather and it is a bit stiff. How can I make the flap lay nice on the open top of the small pouch? Thank You Quote
Members battlemunky Posted July 2, 2018 Members Report Posted July 2, 2018 You can wet it and fold it pretty tight. You could also use a groover or a creaser to make a line/groove in it to help the fold since 6/7 is pretty stout. You may want to try youtube for some actual footage as well. Quote
Members johnv474 Posted July 26, 2018 Members Report Posted July 26, 2018 If you dampen it and bend it over the edge of a sturdy table or anvil, you can tap with a smooth faced hanmer to help set the crease. Quote
