Leather Christmas Gift YOU Can Make!

If you have visited a store lately, any store, I don't have to tell you that Christmas is just around the corner.  In our area, Christmas decorations hit the stores before Halloween, which, in my opinion, is kind of sad, but for those of use who like to make our Christmas gifts, it is a good reminder to get on the ball and start creating.

Why not give something made of leather this year?

Even if you are still just a beginner in the art of leathercraft, there are many inexpensive kits that come with instructions easy enough for even a small child to follow and end up with a really impressive gift for holiday giving.

Years ago, on a trip to Mexico, I picked up several tooled leather wallets for family members who thought they were wonderful.  As the years went by, the wallets wore out.  Since a 2000-mile trip to Mexico to replace them seemed a bit extreme, I was happy to discover that leather kits to construct similar ones were available only a few miles from my home.  And, better yet, I have now located several sources online.  You can too, by googling leathercraft kits to see where to go for your own.

One of my favorite kits is the one at the  top of this blogpost which only costs around $10 but when finished, looks like you spent much much more.  An added plus is that it would be a gift handmade, by YOU.  Click Here:  Tandy Leathercraft Identification Id Wallet Kit Nip 4141-00 to find out more about it.
