Deluxe Leather Card Holder - Leather Craft

In this leather craft video I make a tooled leather card holder with hidden closure hardware. The exterior of the holder has been intricately carved and tooled within each section to create a quilted pattern look. Each section is then dyed using a hand-rubbed dye technique that transitions from a lighter shade in the middle of each section to a darker shade along the borders. Magnetic snaps help hold the card holder securely shut and are not visible from the exterior. The holder is completely hand stitched together using red Tiger thread for a pop of color. The basic dimension for creating the pattern can be found at the end of the video. I hope you enjoy the video and get inspired to design and make one of your own.

I am truly impressed with the guide on finishing the product, from polishing to handling small details. This makes the leather wallet look much more professional

Every time I watch a video, you make me want to do a project. Thanks.

This is one of the most gorgeous card holders I've seen done. Just...amazing workmanship!

You're making a difference, one video at a time.

I can't just attend church to reach this level of craftsmanship. Let's appreciate the fact of having hands and hand tools with REAL WORLD GUIDANCE. Great videos, well shot and edited

[deztroyer]

I like to watch at .75 speed. Much more enjoyable and less hectic.

Praise the Lord. Such beautiful work that you do. ❤

Your work is amazing, as always! Thank you for posting this.

There must be immense satisfaction in having the skill and craftsmanship to create something like this. Even the zippered section on its own (inside a bigger satchel you made, on another video I watched on your channel) would look wonderful standalone. Thanks for sharing your work.

Not only is your work amazing, but you have a great taste for music selection. Very mellow, but almost melancholy too.

Never cease to amaze me with your craftsmanship! Beautiful piece. Thanks for the share

Beautiful work--love your approach to tooling!

[martinstults]

I don't know how you come up with these unique ideas. It's totally different than any card wallet I've seen before. I like it and the music also. I'm going to hijack your idea and make one. Thanks!

Am going to have to try making a spare blade pouch like this. Ty for including the pattern at the end!

[iamnoone.]

Looks awesome. I would be afraid the magnets would erase the strip on a credit card 💳 😏

[TannedTalents]
