DIY Leather Cardholder Tutorial with FREE TEMPLATE | Handmade Leather Craft

Wonderful job! Only suggestion would be rather than doing heavy sanding at the end of assembly, I would trim with a sharp knife to make the edges flush. This allows you to have a perfectly smooth edge, rather than with sanding where you have a fluffy mess that you have to go through 6 grits to get smooth and flat. Kind of like using a router to trim flush in woodworking, vs just trying to sand it flush with an orbital sander.

Appreciate the suggestion! I have a half decent skiving knife that should the trick - if not I'll use a fresh blade on my snap knife. I'll see how it goes and implement into my workflow if it works well for me. Might have to give a little room for this cut in the template.
