How to Make a Bag, Pouch or Purse with no rivets, NO STITCHING and no excuses.

[@eco.3977]

Me on my twitter like an hour ago: "I wanna do leatherworking but I don't have the tools and tools cost money and I don't have that either." You: "no excuses."

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

That's golden. Hahaha

[@censusgary]

The only tool you really need for this design is a sharp knife. He also used a couple of punches and a stretcher, but you could pretty easily improvise something else for those.

[@ms.c.j.]

E Co. have you got a box cutter? A good box cutter, single blade ones not the ones that have an extendable blade that snaps off. Maybe a Scalpel? It’s got to be sharp, and sturdy! My partner started doing leatherwork as a hobby 35 years ago, and he's taught me some things. You don't need much to stat out, I highly doubt the Natives had all the tools we have, but they did great leather items they used every day!

[@aimansyahmidzulkhairy909]

I'm having a hard time to even get the leather. There's no place near me that sells leather. At least online shopping make it easier for me to get the leather now.

[@mrrustygray]

We all started with a blank slate. This channel is responsible for many improvements in my skill level.

[@DebbieBuckland]

please do more of these projects with simple tools. As a beginner these are ideal

[@jessedavisson8441]

Thank you this very doable with a few dollar store tool. Metal straw punch. Break blade exacto. Small chisel, or sharpened spatula. People can find the drive for progress and look at what they already have. Enthusiasm and a belief in your own creativity, will take you far. Good luck fellow earthlings.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Right on

[@ThatBassistK]

Honestly the stitching and rivets have never been a deterrent for me but this is absolutely ingenuous all the same. I'm definitely making a larger version of this, thanks!

[@Lovelybones1973]

Same here! I'm gonna make my husband and father in law each a Possibles bag!

[@alongdev]

Yes absolutely. Me too am thinking to make a larger saddle bag for my Harley but again not to fix on the cycle, just to carry on my shoulder.Would be grateful if Our creative Boss would help us by creating a video.

[@vincedunn9983]

Simple, quick, easy.... And practically no tools.

[@hellsscoutact5379]

Just learning but have made knife sheaths, small pouches men and ladies, hand grips for canes and staffs. Used leather ti to repair some Alice packs. Made my own moccasins from scratch with my own pattern. Must try that again. Like your work. Tools i use things i can carry in my backpack.

[@feleciaclemons5074]

Im so glad i found this channel. Love it! Very cool

[@jukeboxhero1649]

I dig simple things like that. I'ma go work on mines 2 nite!

[@riftalope]

I had boots like that whn I was eight! Cool!

[@CflNurse]

Absolutley perfect! Love this

[@MisterBones223]

I thought that the rivets and stitching were the best part, but this shows me that less can definitely be more!

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

I'm sharing this because more people should check out the cool thing's you make.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Looks great. Love those soft curves. Feel inspired to make one for a tin with belt loops.

[@pipesmcgee9270]

Very cool looking. I would like to take that idea and make larger saddlebags for my motorcycle, somehow incorporating more of a seamless design for weather protection. Can you steer me in the right direction?

[@BarefootViking]

Great work. Your doing your thing, i respect that

[@Michael-id7uh]

What’s wild is that I bought a belt pouch that was assembled like this at a renaissance fair and it’s outlasted all my stitched belt pouches I’ve had. It’s such a simple design but it holds together surprisingly well

[@canadiannavywife434]

Thank you and you are wonderful for allowing us to succeed! Hugs from Halifax

[@dlighted8861]

Cool beans and just what I need.

[@T.R.75]

very interesting. thanks for showing it to us. good work.

[@CaipiraBushcraft]

Fantastic! No excuses anymore!! Hahaha. Tks for this video!!!!

[@aaronblount3999]

Not sure why I wasn't already subscribed to your channel. I binge watch your stuff over and over from time to time... Very informative, and enjoyable content!

[@pixydarkstar8734]

I have found white charcoal artist pencil are quite fantastic for marking leather they work much like tailors chalk and brushes off quite readily

[@GauravSingh-r6r]

Thanks a loooot❤❤❤❤

[@jeffreyhanalei6566]

I just want to say you are inspiring

[@jerrycallender9927]

This is COOL!!!!!

[@kenclement9409]

Wow, this is beautiful and easy🥰

[@ianruff6173]

Such a great project!

[@marccline5475]

Fantastico! Can't wait to try this. Great begginer project.

[@timhyatt9185]

there's a TON of possibilities here.. could even work in a heavy canvas with a leather strap (would need to do buttonholes or otherwise reinforce the slots)

[@ryanmcewen393]

Looks good! Simple. To the point. I like it

[@Pluscelamemechose]

Very nice.

[@missk2876]

I like both Lonsdale Leather in Vancouver and Tandy in Surrey. (Depends on what I am shopping for.) Awesome video - great to see another local leather crafter! Huge thumbs up! 👍

[@bulgaricouro]

A very interesting project. Your work is very creative and original. Compliments!

[@saeedbakhtiari5371]

[@erroleabrown4317]

Beautiful leather and the bag looks so cool, thanks for the video, great work thank you

[@ghettomama4299]

That's awesome👍

[@gazellerichardson9135]

Have been wanting to get into leather work. Inherited a stash of it; good to start with. Would be a great first project for someone who has never done it, 👍.

[@CanadianMapleleaf]

I love Lonsdale :)

[@CC-ko8zl]

Nice. I have been making this same bag for years. Nice to see someone else doing it too.

[@AdinoEznite]

Just got it. Dropped a tiny 10% tip.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Awe thanks. :)

[@realcraft3785]

nice

[@OCO-ek9ej]

Me encantó 💕

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Thank you. :)

[@mikeulator]

I love this for how clever it is in keeping it simple... and yet looks pretty strong with such a wide strap for the weave. Where the two strips are tied together are probably the weak points.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Totally agree. Could lace it a bit better, was trying to keep it very simple.

[@mikeulator]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop Yeah. I was thinking you could overlap it more and do 4-6 holes to weave the lace through to spread out the load. Should still look good.

[@Naxioan]

This is fantastic! Such a clever idea for simplifying a make

[@TheBxchula69]

amazing.. thank you

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@branwhen]

Just found your channel! Love it, really good for me being a reenactor, I can start making my own leather works aswell!!

[@cindycash1772]

Great design n perfect for so many uses... thank you...

[@Gooch072]

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@jennabaugh1303]

What length was the weaving strap? I could’ve missed it in the video but I didn’t find that information

[@atwistedsky9169]

I love the look of this. Looks very easy to follow and creates a wonderful bag. Amazing

[@melisaomidi3454]

But if he take the pattern of bags with details I mean centimeter of pattern it can be very useful

[@cweb1988]

super cool!

[@PatrickMatherne]

Looks good, just realized that is how the pouch for my wifes pirate outfit was made. Also how do you keep oil tanned leather from looking dryed out after a while

[@Supersnipergirl1]

I use beeswax but you can just use clear oil, like corn oil for example 😉

[@chumccurry1765]

Thomas Pelzer thank you

[@kaitorinshi2675]

Hopefully I can get leather, or something as firm, soon! I love this, cuz I can't sew 😂😂😂

[@seanintenn4297]

Wow. Want one!

[@NeilHendrick]

My only excuse is that I can't find the pattern. Is there a downloadable PDF somewhere? Love the design, have been cutting leather using a Cricut maker and want to cut something like this that replaces stitching with interlocking tabs.

[@HaleyRoseSmith]

Just bought this pattern with the plan to make it a belt bag for my Ren Faire outfit! Can you please clarify what you mean by "weave the edges back in the direction they came from"? I'm not sure what that means. I'll probably stitch a belt loop onto the back although to keep it no-sew I suppose cutting a couple of slits in the back would work as well.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Hell I don't even know what I meant by that. But the pattern is really simple and you're probably over thinking it like we all do. :)

[@MIDIprincess]

​@@DarkHorseWorkshopI ended up looping the ends back in a sort of knot and then riveting them together in a loop that fit over my belt. Worked great. Thanks for the pattern!

[@J.D_Vincent]

This is my 10th time watching this video. I love how it comes out. though could you make it bigger?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Easily just scale it up

[@tonsonbloodaxe2605]

Very nice!

[@kobaltocr6927]

Beautyful😯

[@FranklinQuijote-ev1up]

Love the bag design hope it’s more bigger can I order a triple bigger on that pattern?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

You could probably just scale the pattern up but I haven't done that before. May take some fiddling. :) That said maybe I'll do some options if I have time

[@FranklinQuijote-ev1up]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop yes sir I love the design hope you can make for me a regular size bag. Thanks from Arlington Virginia

[@leslieh4892]

Great tutorial! Would love to see a video on finishing edges for different leathers I'm a beginner and I like chrome tan and oil tanned leather better just because it's look and flexiblity but I get discouraged working and projects and my edges don't look well compared to how well veg tan burnishes. I find it hard to get a clean edge with little to no "fuzz".

[@bettyadkisson1681]

Thank you for important video.

[@maggiemizrachi513]

Omg I love it!! Ok so can you do a bigger type bag!!??? I must say you're very talented!

[@57acres48]

Dude! You're here in Vancouver! I've seen various UK / European "bushcrafters" mention Darkhorse in their videos and always thought you were over there. Going to visit your Etsy shop and start with this project. Maybe see you around or on set somewhere one day. Do you have a workshop / studio that one could come and visit?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Can totally come say hi. It's snot open to the public but I don't mind people stopping in to take a look. Feel free to email me [e-mail] and do you remember which channels mentioned me?

[@blissdaniels488]

Nice 😁

[@analauraramirezquiros2144]

I saw Cimber bushcraft do this but as a belt pouch. He saw your video.

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Oh awesome. :)

Nice one I want one

[@otealuajones8289]

Hi Dark Horse, what a wonderful bag! Can you tell me what size oblong punch did you use to create the holes for weaving?

[@danielleargent9183]

hey can you make a bigger version of this bag?

[@ericgaytan9734]

Have you made a back pack using this style?

[@robertmiller8578]

I like this project and and am wondering how well it can be made for black powder possibles bag and a little larger what are the size deminsions for this project

[@gabrielhermosillaserrano5268]

Un trabajo to guapo ahí...

[@ginnybaumeister9561]

That was fantastic! Is this a Viking pattern?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Na, just something I came up with.

[@HodgePodgeHarmony]

My old brain doesn't work in mms/cms. What size oblong hole punch would you need for this project? I just purchased the pattern and would like to purchase a set of punches.

[@phackqu]

Hi, great video! Where do you get your leather from?

[@jarredpiri9166]

Hi can you give details of all sizes when making this small bag, I want to know and want to try to learn to make it..thanks

[@SharekGadd]

Great work! Is there a historical example of this type of bag/leatherwork?

[@SavageVR]

Hmmm, is this big enough to hold your "Easy Leather Journal"?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Nope but you can easily scale any pattern up or down in size with your printer settings.

[@SavageVR]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop Good to know, I did buy the pattern because "why reinvent the wheel" and thought that it would make a great combo. Like a "Traveler's Journal" set. Add a side slot for the strap so it sits across the chest. Looks like I have some modifications to make. Dope channel BTW! Of course I subbed.

[@SavageVR]

Ended up designing a whole new bag to go with the journal. The journal pattern is wicked simple but works so well. Anyhow, thanks for inspiring me to make my own bag pattern, first time, and building it out.

[@davidcarter5903]

Thanks! I think this will be a good start for me, and get some christmas presents setup... maybe try my hand at artwork on it too. What size of leather sheet did you use in your video?

[@carlcreason2590]

Very nice! Subbed - might get me started.

[@MadMansCosplay]

I think a lot of Star Wars cosplayers could use this tutorial very much. Maybe you can make a post adressed to them. It would help them and yourself 👍

[@earlelzy9975]

I made this but I wanted to make it a buckled strap. How would I do that without cutting and putting D rings?

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

Just cut one end and put a buckle.

[@timconley2787]

Nice video, nice pattern and nice end product. If the explanations could be done a little slower, it would be much easier to take in and see what is being done. It went a little too fast for me

[@asochithung5169]

Any chance you could list the tools used in this video like in your other videos? Trying to track down the size of the oblong punch you used, I'm thinking it's 1".

[@DarkHorseWorkshop]

You're correct, the hole on the pattern is 1"

[@engelwyre]

@@DarkHorseWorkshop Thank you, sir. Purchased a few of your patterns and will begin work this week.

why no link to this exact pattern, and it doesnt go to etsy with the etsy link? im really interested but can not find the patter on your website theres to many things to look through to find this.
