Building a Leather Poppy Brooch for Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day. DIY leather flower pin including tips on cutting, dying, finishing your own custom leather flowers. Step by step tutorial on how to cut patterns, use hot water to shape the leather petals and then use a water based leather stain to colour them red.

[@mascherina]

Looks great! Thanks for the tutorial. What punch are you using? I'm looking for a good one.

[@D35TR0YM4N]

I'm proud of the comment section for not having "careful when touching those nuts" as the top comments.

[@wprincessannw]

Thanks so much for the great video. I liked you on facebook too. Do you have a link for the pins you used?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Those are 16ga brass escutcheon pins. This year I used sew on brooch pins. They work much better.

[@marygrinter4878]

Okay I tried very hard to make this today and I can't get my leather to warp shape!! Is it possibly bc my leather is already tanned and finished??

[@DrawbridgeProps]

+Mary Grinter all leather is tanned. but only one type of leather will work for shaping. It has to be vegetable tanned, sometimes called tooling leather. They next thing that is important is the heat. Technically it has to reach 180 degrees Fahrenheit to heat form. A blow dryer will not get it hot enough. It has to be a heat gun or toaster over. On very thin leather it is difficult to get it to that temperature without burning it. I made some yesterday and I actually let the petal start to toast but just barely. Then shape it with your hands while it is hot to the touch. Good luck.

[@marygrinter4878]

Drawbridge Props & Armoury the leather I'm using is from a bag of remnants that is already stained (sorry is that the word? instead of tanned? I just mean it's already colored) and finished. Yeh I was using a blow dryer. Could I use my oven?

[@marygrinter4878]

I also tried a candle :p

[@DrawbridgeFinance]

yes you can use your oven. If it has been commercially dyed and finished it is likely the wrong type of leather and will not heat harden. sorry.

[@alexanderson1193]

who has these tools lying around at home? no fuckimg one

[@gingerninja1559]

LEVI tell me if im getting annoying
