How To Make A Handmade Wallet Using EXOTIC LEATHER - Leather Craft Tutorial

In this leather craft video I experiment with some beautiful glazed ostrich-leg leather. I use the ostrich skin in combination with natural vegetable tanned leather to create a sleek minimalist style money clip wallet. The exterior pockets of the wallet each feature a raised ostrich skin inlay that is surrounded by black leather, secured with matching black stitching. The interior leather of the wallet has a smooth black dyed surface which is a great canvas for adding any custom tooling or stamped designs. During the video I try to show and explain my wallet creation process step-by-step. Also, for those who may be interested in trying to make the wallet for themselves, I have provided (within the video) the dimensions for each of the templates I use while making the project. Additionally, you can find the full list of the tools and materials I use down below 👇. I hope you find this wallet project video interesting and that you are inspired to make one for yourself.
