First Time Leather Working! | Making a Potion Belt for My Witch Halloween Costume

This video is a little on the longer side, but I taught myself how to make a leather belt with lots of youtube tutorials! This is my very first time doing any kind of leather working and for a first attempt I think it turned out pretty well 😊 I got all of my supplies from Tandy Leather and in addition to the belt base I also made a bag and some potion bottle carriers. I'm super happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to wear it for halloween and for the renaissance festival! Since it was a first try, I obviously made quite a few mistakes along the way so if you have any feedback or tips I'd love to hear them!

Tutorials I followed:
⭐How to Make a Leather Belt From Scratch -    • How to Make a Leather Belt from Scratch  
⭐Learning Leathercraft with Jim Linnell Pt 1. -    • Learning Leathercraft with Jim Linnel...  
(this is just the first video, the entire series is super helpful and where I got most of my information!)
