Hobbit Backpack Tutorial - How I Made Bilbo's Backpack from The Hobbit

How I made my prop replica of Bilbo Baggins' backpack from The Hobbit. I'll walk you through the steps I took to make my pack. I used hand-dyed vegtan cowhide and tooled leather details, everything hand-sewn. I'm working towards a full Bilbo cosplay but in the mean time I'm using my hobbit backpack for Middle Earth adventures (in the Canadian Rockies).
