How to Make a Leather Bag // DIY TUTORIAL

Leather bags are fun, useful leather crafting projects. They can be made as simple or as complicated as you'd like to make them! We show you how to get started and share some useful tips for making a leather bag from scratch. We walk you through making a simple pattern, placing handles, sewing a pocket, and how to close up the bag neatly without having to flip the bag inside out. For this bag we used some vegetable tanned leather around 5-6oz, nylon waxed thread, and some solid brass pop rivets and line 24 snaps. Happy Crafting!

Thanks so much for sharing! It’s been 4 years from when you posted this video, and there are still people, just like me, benefiting from it!

Took you pattern and made a slight variant to include a snap clip to hole car keys and a Cross-body strap for a friend of my wife. Word of mouth spread - now the other friends are waiting for one.... Great pattern and video for a newbie like me to follow .. THANK YOU!

I swear, if Covid is over, I want to go over to your place and take a Leathermanship course with you.

Such a beautiful bag, the design, the attention to line flow, and the handle design. Looks like a $500 bag in some department store (if not more) and no were new the quality of materials or construction. And the pink is a gorgeous color, especially with the white thread and the contrasting brass rivets. And such an easy pattern, when you know what you are doing. ;-) :-) And the snap closure, actually ended up being a really nice addition!!!!

I find it funny how in younger years one will argue down about what is thought to be “correct” and then later realize your guides knowledge was actually more beneficial. I love the sound of growth. Glad to hear you express that and thank you for this tutorial. I’ll keep this close.

Lol. My daughter had a mantra 'Pink, my favorite colour'. When she was younger she recited this every time she saw something pink. Didn't matter where we were or who was around.
Nice pressie.

You know, i love the fact the tool he uses just a simple diamond pricking iron which is cheaper than french pricking iron and still give a beautiful finish. Same with other tools he uses. No fancy high end tools that is expensive to own. Thanks for keeping it simple. And love the pink on this tote bag.

What in the world have I been buying all these years??? You rounded sharp corners sanded them & waxed them!! You are a G for sharing your techniques. I’m interested in leather works. Thanks.

This is super informative, but it’s also just oddly relaxing/satisfying to watch something so pretty be made from start to finish. I’m nowhere near skilled enough to attempt a project like this yet, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Also, being the girly girl I am, that pink color is just gorgeous! What an amazing gift for your sister!

[ColleenC-nv]

This is such a sweet gift to give your sister. Adorable and so nicely made!

[steamgadget]

The design of this bag is outstanding! You have an excellent eye for design and I love the flow of this bag. Your channel is one of the best discoveries I've ever made on youtube! I truly appreciate you two for putting yourselves out there and welcoming us into your studio, it's always a great time. Thank you Corter Leather!

[sevenaka]

I never wanted to own a pink bag until now. Great job...your a good brother!

[shannonwilson]

I recreated this bag and had so much fun. You all are such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for the fantastic content!

[lisalovesrichie]

So sweet of you. My brother and I are very close. He does nice things for me too. I love him. I imagine your sister was thrilled and will treasure you and the bag forever

[CantrellLeatherGoods]

It was really helpful to go along with you as you explained the why’s and how’s of making a bag especially the shape of the pocket... that was such a small thing but actually smart as heck. It would have looked really odd otherwise. Once again you knocked it outta the park!

Happy Birthday Corter sister from us all. Enjoy your very pink bag!
