Members Somiskid Posted June 9, 2021 Members Report Posted June 9, 2021 Howdy Ya'll!! I need some ideas so lets see your Christmas projects that you have done! Quote
Members kiwican Posted June 10, 2021 Members Report Posted June 10, 2021 And November is way late to be starting to plan and make stuff especially if you are making for a few folks ! Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted June 10, 2021 CFM Report Posted June 10, 2021 I work like mad under pressure. But no, I don't do ANYTHING for Christmas before November. I even turn the TV off when the ads come on. Quote
Members DJole Posted June 10, 2021 Members Report Posted June 10, 2021 Okay, here's a Christmas project I did: http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/NativityPix/LeatherNativity.htm Quote
Members JayEhl Posted June 10, 2021 Members Report Posted June 10, 2021 A back issue of the leather crafter magazine had a pretty neat project making stockings. Trim the top, the heel and the toe with decorations or names, etc. That's on my list along with trying my hand at carving some Christmas cards. (haha) Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 10, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted June 10, 2021 A few years ago Tandy did some free Christmas themed patterns. A different set each year. They could be adapted to put on just about anything Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 10, 2021 CFM Report Posted June 10, 2021 its birthday season for me, I'm making pencil sets on my lathe then making leather cases for them. I suppose they would work as well for Christmas also. Quote
Members BroodyLeathercraft Posted June 10, 2021 Members Report Posted June 10, 2021 Made the belts and holster for my in-laws last Christmas. Made the stock cuff for my dad for Father’s Day. Quote

Members JayEhl Posted June 10, 2021 Members Report Posted June 10, 2021 I should admit that I bought a package of I think 50 coasters that I plan to place initials, and maybe a small doodle but hopefully that each won't take more than an hour, or so Quote

Year before last I made a handful, maybe 9 in total, I can't remember, leather book covers and included an A6 diary and a pen. Inside there is a panel piece front and back to hold the book covers and on each of those panels is a slot cut for a pocket I'm a slow worker. It took me several days to cut all the pieces and then about one evening to assemble each cover. I think I decided during late November to do these and some had to be ready for 5th December. Got them done ok, but it would have been maybe easier to have started them in September/October time Quote
