Discover the Art of Leather Crafting in Our Popular Card Holder Workshop!
At Youssoufiani, we love bringing creativity to life through the art of leather crafting. Our Card Holder Workshop is one of our most beloved classes, perfect for beginners and leather enthusiasts who want to experience the joy of crafting something from scratch. In this hands-on session, students create their own sleek and functional leather card holder while learning the essential techniques that go into professional leather craftsmanship.
Step-by-Step: Crafting Your Own Leather Card Holder
1. Choosing the Leather – We start by selecting high-quality, full-grain leather in a variety of colors. Each student gets to choose the leather they want to work with, making each card holder truly unique.
2. Cutting the Pieces – Using precise templates, students carefully cut out the individual pieces of leather needed for their card holder.
3. Prepping for Stitching – Before sewing, we mark and punch stitching holes using specialized leatherworking tools, ensuring clean and even stitches.
4. Saddle Stitching by Hand – One of the most exciting parts of the workshop is learning how to hand-stitch using the traditional saddle stitch technique. This technique is known for its durability and is used in many luxury leather goods.
5. Edge Finishing – To give the card holder a polished look, students burnish and smooth the edges using traditional finishing techniques.
6. Personalization – For a final touch, students can emboss their initials or a small design, making their piece one-of-a-kind.
7. Final Assembly & Admiration – The last step is assembling the card holder, giving it a final polish, and admiring the beautiful handcrafted piece that is now ready to use!
