In this workshop, you will learn the basics of sculpting and painting leather as well as learning to make charms. Because this is a step-by-step tutorial (no time-lapse video), it is about 30 minutes long. In this video, I am using sterling silver. Any metal finding will do, though. Also, though I am using petrified wood beads, any dark brown or black bead will work for the charm.
You Will Need:
Needle nose pliers
Chain nose pliers
Awl
X-acto knife
Cutting surface (a cutting board will do)
