Members Husky3 Posted October 6, 2018 Members Report Posted October 6, 2018 Hi all, I am new to leathercraft. I am wanting to make a valet tray that snaps/buttons together. Unfortunately the thickness of the material is only 2oz. My idea was to glue it to another type of leather, increasing the thickness and making it more sturdy. This would then allow it to be reversible. So: 1. Since this won't get heavy usage like a wallet - will I be ok just gluing the two pieces together and then properly burnishing the edges? 2. I wanted to use double ended buttons and holes then it would allow for a reversible build. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this hardware? Thank you. Quote
