Overview

Durable and flexible, leather has been utilized by humans for thousands of years. In the Tandy Leather Contest, share projects that incorporate leather in some way. If you're new to leatherworking, we have a special class designed to help you get started!

The winners will take home some fantastic prizes, including a Tippmann Boss leather sewing machine, Tandy Leather tools, and hundreds of dollars in leather for future projects.

We’d love to see traditional leather projects as well as unique and unusual uses for leather. Show us what you can create with this amazing material!
