Batman49 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
