Overview

Sturdy, multifunctional, and coming in so many shapes, colors, and sizes, leather is a great material for beginner and experienced makers alike. All you have to do for the Leather Contest is make something incorporating leather (faux or real).

Demonstrate your seasoned leatherworking skills and you could win a kit to make an Expedition Briefcase, Backpack, or Journal. Whether you are new to using it or an old pro, show off your special talents with leather.
