Overview

Leather is a versatile material to work with. What does it inspire you to make? Whether it’s masks, bags, furniture, costumes, shoes, wallets… if your project incorporates leather, it’s fair game for the Leather Contest.

Together with Tandy Leather, we’re offering up some amazing prizes to the winners of this contest, including cameras, iPad Minis, leatherworking tools, and more. We will also award a special judges’ prize for best costume (after all, we are fast approaching Halloween).

Some things to strive for, when creating your Instructables entry: clear instructions, appealing photos, and originality. We can’t wait to see what you make!
