YOU WILL NEED
***
Leather
- You will need approximately 0.2m of thick yet supple leather for the front and back of the bag (1.2mm to 1.6mm thickness / 3 to 4 oz is perfect).
- You will also need 2 lengths of similar thickness leather for the straps and weaving pieces (about 1.3m by 4cm / 52” by 2”).
- The thickness and how supple or rigid the leather is will greatly impact the final form of your bag.
Hardware
- 1 x buckle measuring 1.5cm/0.6” wide
- 1 x Sam Browne fitting
- 5 (plus extra for practising) x 6mm / 0.2” double capped rivets (the length of the rivets will depend on the thickness of your leather - test out on scrap leather to ensure a snug fit).
Tools
THESE ITEMS ARE ESSENTIAL
- 1 x sharp craft knife, stanley knife or scalpel. Fresh blades will make cutting the leather much easier.
