Leather Scraps and Creative Designs

Posted on the 15 February 2023 by Realityarts @realityarts

Welcome to Material Mondays blog post! If you're an artist working with leather, you might have found yourself with lots of little scraps that you don't know what to do with. Before you think of throwing them away, I will show you a fun and creative way to make use of them.

To start, I recommend grading your off-cuts into different size categories. Even the tiniest strips can potentially be saved and used as an embellishment on something else. Once you have your scraps sorted, you can then start playing around with larger pieces to create something new.

I like to use fabric glue to put my pieces together and create interesting shapes. These embellishments can be used in various projects, from jewelry to decorative pieces. If you want to add a little more texture, you can use a wood-burning tool to burn the leather.

If you have time, I recommend batching your work by marking up several pieces at once. These pre-made pieces can be used in future projects, so don't worry if you're not sure what you'll use them for yet.
Overall, the possibilities are endless when it comes to using leather scraps. With a little creativity and some basic tools, you can turn your scraps into beautiful works of art. Don't throw away your scraps just yet and remember to experiment and have fun with your leather designs.
