I usually use my leather scraps to make key-chains like the ones in the picture below. But today I thought I would try something different inspired by some etsy products I saw on pinterest.
I will be working with 3 different kind of leathers: a piece of calfskin, a piece of first grade 5oz and finally some second grade 4oz. All are vegetable tanned.
As I will be using different techniques to decorate the bookmarks during some steps I will go into specific details for each piece. However when the treatment between the piece will be the same I will only illustrate the operation with one piece and show the result for all the bookmarks.
인쇄 설정을 확인하여 패턴 크기가 조정되지 않았는지 확인하세요. 패턴의 테스트 박스를 측정하여 변의 길이가 5cm인지 확인하면 제대로 인쇄되었는지 확인할 수 있습니다.

Tracing the patterns onto the leather
Trace the outline of the heart onto the leather twice.
For the bookmarks with the embroidery, mark every stitch point and trace the lines between them using the patterns as a guide.
I omitted tracing the lines for the wings as markings don’t come out so well on calfskin.
For the dotted bookmarks, mark the center of every hole to be punched through.
Finally for the moon, dampen the leather before tracing on top of the paper to leave a clear mark on the leather.
Dyeing the pieces
I mainly used two techniques here:
A watercolor brush with a water reservoir built in which allows me to suck-in some dye from the bottle and release it along with more or less water as I drag the brush onto the leather. Which creates a kind of watercolory effect.
A more or less successful gradient achieved by rubbing the soaked dye applicator on a piece of paper to get it to be almost dry and then rub this onto the leather, insisting more on the areas that I wish to be darker.
I applied a coat of oil on the cow skins and Tokonole on the calfskin (I like the texture that it gives to calfskin. Sometimes I use oil as well but it darkens the color and that’s the what I was going for).
.
At that point the moon bookmark is going to disappear but don’t be alarmed. I simply called it a day and threw a piece of leather on top of it. The next day I started working again, finished all the bookmarks and took all the pictures only to realize while cleaning out my desk that the moon was left unfinished. It will make its come back in the final result pictures
Stamping, punching and embroidering
I punched my logo into the heart.
The punch sizes used are as follow:
2mm
2.5mm
3mm
4mm
5mm
Each size is represented by a different line pattern on the PDF.
For the embroidery, first prepare the holes with an awl according the marks left earlier.
Then start joining each segment using the pattern as a guide.
You might be wondering what happened to the wolf? Well I thought that it looked really good the way it was right after dyeing so I left it at that.
조각 잘라내기
Now you can cut the outline of the 6 bookmarks’ pieces (12 pieces total).
A pair of scissors works fine too. It all depends on the leather you are using and how precise you want the result to look like (or inversely the amount of effort that you are willing to put in).
Edge beveling & burnishing
At that point the diagonal edge should be burnished as it will become more difficult to do so once both parts of the bookmark are glued onto one another.
Start by beveling the edge on both sides. You can use sandpaper to smooth out the result.
I also died the rough side and the edges of the dotted bookmarks.
Use the method of your choice to burnish the edge of all 6 pieces.
I am using a wood slicker and Tokonole in that case.
Gluing the two sides of the bookmarks together
Use leather cement to glue along the corner edges of the bookmarks.
Stitching the bookmarks
Mark the stitching lines on the corner edges and punch the holes. I’m using chisels but an awl is fine of course.
Stitch along all the corners.
마무리 손질
At that point you can bevel and burnish the remaining edges.
Finally apply to finishing product on your pieces. Let it dry, give it a good rub with a cotton rag and you’re done!

I’m really happy with these and hope that you will enjoy the patterns.
