Ordering An order will be placed through Tandy Leather (https://tandyleather.com/). Below is a list of recommended projects for 1st year members: 1ST YEAR
LEATHERCRAFT MEMBERS (3rd grade and older) – Must enter 2 items – Beginners must have one article that is double looped lace. Both must be carved. No stamping, except for names. No dyed articles. Two articles required, fastened together (be sure to secure items together) (Exception: one of the following finishes must be used: neat lac, super sheen, carnaba cream or leather glow.)
Double loop lacing is a strong, decorative edge-finishing technique primarily used in leatherworking for items like wallets, bags, and belts, typically requiring a lace length seven times the edge distance. While it is not universal for anything, it can be applied to most leather projects (including those below)
* 1ST YEAR LEATHERCRAFT MEMBERS – Any leather article that member feels is of an advanced caliber. This can include combination of carving or any other leathercraft skills. Recommended 1st year Projects
