I'd love to see some brush painting lessons. I'm brand new to leathercrafting and I have so much to learn. These ornaments are great and I learned alot today. I appreciate that you show and explain everything in detail for those of us who are brand new and don't have a clue. 🤣😝 I'll have to check out some of your other videos.
great inspiration for next year. I make drum ornaments to sell and cant get more of the inside so want to diversify. Now I just need to figure out how to do it with my arthritic hands.
OLD Leather Smith here, I believe you did an excellent job, being an old Leather Smith I don't paint I dye and in the past I used white rabbit 2 the ornaments also I use holes and small pieces of scrap 2 push out the leather, I like your idea 4 the batting. Wool felt will also work, which is available at Weaver. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
This is such a great project. I am really enjoying your series, you’re definitely on the right track. I would love videos on painting/ dyeing techniques.
If you click the link in the video description, the downloadable patterns are right underneath the video. There is a link that says Download Leather Ornament Pattern.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply I see all the supplies used, but cannot find the pattern in that link. I have clicked it 5 times. Lol. I search the store site and can’t find it there either. Where at the store site would it be listed?
If you want the perfect gift for Chuck... Get some nice leather for him to work with. Put it in a leather box. Wrap it in leather wrapping paper, tie a leather bow around it. Put a leather name tag on it and punch in To: CHUCK D. From: Dan R. Then place the gift on the leather skirt under Chuck's leather Christmas tree.
Alternative to matboard is 2mm crafting foam. It, too, provides a good grip on the flesh side of leather without removing too much force from hammer blows.
I'd be very interested in more 3D ornaments, such as braided hearts, stars, baskets, candle holders - and general DIY décor items (not necessarily Christmassy for the last one)
@@DanielReachCreations not necessarily, i was talking about traditional hand painting techniques. Floreal Is a Classic old school subject in leather working from what i can tell (i'm Just a beginner in this wonderful art), but It could be nice to see hand painting used on less Classic patterns too, these ornaments are a very good example of something to do that gets away from the usual Flower or Celtic Pattern, which are both fine and very cool, but already have a HUGE amount of content on "how to".
@@drschonify I really wanted to get it, but it just seems like a bunch of people in a room talking at the top of their lungs. But I'm probably just showing my age. I know it's really popular.
@@DanielReachCreations you're not wrong, honestly. It CAN be all of those things that @drschonify says, but many discord servers end up just being huge chat sessions between the people who happen to be able to dedicate hours of their day to keeping up with it.
I'd be very interested in the brushing technique videos. The only thing I would say that was missing from this one is a demo (or clip) of the finishing technique you described. Other than that, great video as always. Very informative and detailed (at least verbally) every step needed.
I made four of these as Christmas gifts and they came out great! I do have one question though. How did you treat the edges? Did you bevel the edges, slicker them, and then paint them?
Hey Weaver. Do you have any other guys that do tutorials? This guy, in your videos as well as his channel, loves to hear his own voice and its mostly his face. And he has a face meant more for radio or podcasts. Know what I mean. Seriously. Thanks.
