18 - What to Make

A - Marble or Gold Pouch
1 Cut out two rectangular pieces of leather, making sure they are the same size. Punch four medium-sized holes across the tops of the two pieces. Then punch seven holes on the right and left sides of the rectangle, and three across the bottom.
2 Align the two leather pieces together. With needle and thread, start stitching in the first small hole from the top left corner. Pull the needle through the first hole from the back side. Leave a 2' tail. Use a running stitch by pushing the needle down through the next hole, and so on, as shown. Pull stitches snug as you sew.
3 At the last hole, reverse direction of the stitching and sew back to the starting point. Note: stitching should now look solid, with no gaps in the stitch line. Tie off with a square knot in between the pieces. Lace a drawstring through the remaining holes at the top. Add a bead to both cords before finishing with an overhand tie knot. Slide a bead to hold the bag closed as desired. Add more beads, feathers, dangles, etc., to personalize.

B - Diamond Shape Key Chain
1 From a piece of leather, cut out a diamond shape.
2 Punch a hole at the top corner using a leather punching tool. Next, create a design with any stamping tool of your choice. One idea is to create a pattern or border along the edges.
3 Put a chain through the hole and connect. You are finished!

C - Tie-On Wristband
1 From a piece of leather, cut out a long piece of leather to fit your wrist. Round the edges.
2 Punch a hole on each end of the wristband using a leather punching tool. Next, create a design with any stamping tool of your choice. One idea is to create a pattern or border along the edges.
3 Tie strings to each end of the wristband. Personalize by decorating with dangles, beads, or feathers.

D - Indian Headband
1 Find or cut a long skinny piece of leather. Cut to fit your head. Decorate with a marker or stamp.
2 Punch a hole on each end of the headband using a leather punch tool.
3 Tie ends together using a square knot. The extra cord length makes a great bead dangle with a knot at each end, or it may be cut off.
