In this video, I go through my process of making the no-stitch leather clutch. This pattern can be made on any hobby laser including the glowforge or similar sized lasers, the Cricut Maker, or even cut by hand!
Here is a link to the first video on the no stitch leather purse. If you are going to buy or make anything related to this project, please watch this!:

I make this clutch on my laser, but if you are making this on a cricut, please watch this video where I make an entire leather no stitch purse on the cricut maker:

I cut my leather on a laser cutter, but my last video shows how easily these designs can be cut on a Cricut Maker with a knife blade. You could also print this design and cut this with a pair of leather scissors, and perhaps a sharp chisel for the inside slots. If you are skilled at using a razor blade, that would work as well. You could print these full size and trace them onto thin MDF and use a bandsaw to make a permanent template. While these designs come from a very engineered process, the end result is a relatively simple pattern.
What weight and type of leather you choose is really a personal choice. Because of the nature of this design, you do want a stiff leather so the arrows have some strength to hold in the slots. I typically use varying weights of vegetable tanned leather. You can dye it yourself, or look for pre-dyed options. You are limited to a 6 oz leather maximum for the Cricut maker. Thicker leather will not fit under the bar.
This pattern is released for 1.5mm (3oz), 2mm (4-5 oz), and 2.5mm (6oz) leather. I do not think thicker leather would be a good choice.
Here are links to everything that you see me using in the video, including a replacement for that HVLP sprayer that I think will work well, tho I have not tested it. My exact model is no longer available:
