Leather Didgeridoo

Step 5 Draw the center line

Lay out the leather so that it is flat, and lay the 2-yard yard stick onto the leather, where you want the center-line of the didge to be. You want to position it so that the outline of the didge that you are going to cut out is as close to the edge as possible, to minimize the amount of left-over leather on the side.

Once you've placed the yard stick, draw a line along the edge of the yard stick with a pencil, using light pressure. You don't want to press to hard, or it will make an indention in the leather.

If you only have a 1-yard yard stick, place the yard stick and trace a 1-yard line, and then move the yard stick along the line so that the end of the yard stick is approximately in the middle of the line you just drew, making sure that the yard stick is still lined up with the line. Then continue the line. You'll need to do that twice to get a long enough line.
