How to Make a Leather Money Clip Wallet

This Project video shows you how to make a leather money clip wallet. These have always been one of our most popular items to make and sell in our store. Everyone loves a cool leather wallet.

This particular style is compact and designed to be carried in the front pocket. It features a single pocket on each side inside the wallet for a few cards as well as a wire money clip for cash. I mention in the video that I prefer to use a spring style money clip that is a little more professional looking. Here is the link to the clip that I get from Springfield Leather in Missouri:

If you are looking for a great use of scrap leather as well as an item that you can make really quickly, then this is it. I would recommend making these by the 1/2 to full dozen. They are great sellers!

I have a Companion Pattern Pack available if you would like to purchase that. THE PATTERN PACK IS A PDF FILE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OUT ON YOU OWN PRINTER. That means that you will have instant access and can get to making some of these right away! The pattern includes the cut patterns for the liner, body and pocket as well as an optional pocket if you would rather have the cards come out of the center of the wallet. There are also 12 different tooling patterns included in the pack as well. This will give you endless options for any customer wanting one of these from you.

Just starting out, but I'm gonna try it. Thank You. Rick

I like your tooling experience. I bought a set of tools for Tooling. many years ago but did not make any wallet with that.

Thank you for pointing out the leather weight component. I recently bought a big piece of 8-9 ounce leather on Amazon, without really understanding what I was getting. This video pointed out the significance of leather thicknesses.

all i can say you're the best leather crafter that I have seen. You make leather craft look easy.

Enjoyed your wallet video and enjoyed the music too. Thanks Don.

That is awesome work!
I'm a bladesmith primarily but I'm quickly starting to want to work with leather more than hot steel!
Sheaths are pretty easy after you've made a few, but I want to move on to projects that dont need hours of forging a blade before I can move onto the leather work.

Picked up the pattern pack today and this came out awesome!

Don, thank you for putting out these videos, I have learned a lot, I carry one of these wallets, can’t wait to make my own

[curley]

Thanks for the awesome video. Why do you have to poke two holes when you're using the spring loaded clip? EDIT: Nevermind. I listened to that part of the video again and caught it the second time.
