Crafting Leather Coin Wallet | DIY Leatherworking Tutorial
A simple wallet for coins. I use vegetable tanned leather, but you can use any leather you like. You can see a brief description of how to create a wallet here, or you can watch a video that shows how to make a wallet in more detail.
Supplies
Tools I use to create a wallet:
Hammer
- Awl
- Knife
- Iron ruler
- Cutting mat
- Punch - 3mm
- Button press
- Wood Slicker
- Edge Beveler
Step 1:
We trace the stencil of your wallet on the leather.
Step 2:
We cut out a blank for a wallet from leather.
Step 3:
Remove the edge of the leather. I use a tool for this - Edge Beveler.
Step 4:
We make holes for the buttons using a punch.
Step 5:
I paint my leather with a special paint for leather. But you can use already dyed leather.
Step 6:
I use a special finish for leather - Super Sheen.
Step 7:
I polish the edges of the leather with a special tool - Wood Slicker
Step 8:
I install the buttons using a press.
