DIY INSPIRATION: LEATHER OFFCUTS // THE LEATHER SHED

 

 

We've just had a new shipment of our leather upholstery offcuts arrive in store and we've been inspired! It's amazing what you can do with all those bits and pieces of all shapes and sizes. We think it's a great way to recycle top quality leathers in new and exciting ways. 

So here are some DIY projects using scrap leather from around the web to get you inspired too.

DIY ENVELOPE COIN PURSE // THE LEATHER SHED BLOG

// For larger pieces, you can complete this no-sew coin purse in no time with
this simple how-to by Alice and Lois. We'd just add in one more step to take it
next level, and finish the edges before assembling // 

 

So there you have it. We hope you've been inspired get creating! Now all that's left
to do is to grab some of our leather upholstery offcuts before they're all gone.  

 

 PS. Can we just talk about how gorgeous those necklaces from project ideas 1. and 2. are for a second?
