Made a wallet for my nephew

[DarrelT]

So after making the knife sheath for my nephew I wanted to make something for his brother too.
He’s 15 and I think he’d like a wallet. This is from a Corter Leather pattern. Can you guess who my nephews favorite band is?

This project was more firsts for me.

First time I’ve tried acrylic on leather. It behaves a little different than I thought it would. The paint seems to leech out the stain a bit and discolored the paint. But since I was antiquing it anyway that’s not really noticeable.

Also the first time using tracing paper to transfer a pattern. I found the designs online, adjusted the size a little bit, and printed out on tracing paper. Pretty simple process that worked well.

I used an airbrush for the dye again. That process works really well and the coverage is really even. I like it a lot better than using a dauber  

This was a fun projects that didn’t take too long.

That turned out great.  I'm sure he'll love using that and showing it off.
