I'm so thrilled finding your tutorial !!!!!!

[@bobdown410]

Use bees wax with the edge slicker as it will also seal the leather and help to make it water resistant.

[@WellCraftedStudio]

That’s an AWESOME tip!!! Thank you!!!!

[@lovelyrich54]

Thanks 👍

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

These bracelets turned out beautiful!

[@WellCraftedStudio]

Thank you!!! I really love doing them. And they’re just as fun to wear!

[@CrystalMH]

They came out so great!!!!!!!

[@WellCraftedStudio]

Thank you!

[@bfpeake933]

pretty impressed as you're the only other person besides myself, that I know, who has the guts (and brilliance) to use sandpaper to distress their work. Excellent work ma'am

[@WellCraftedStudio]

BF Peake you totally made me smile! IMO distressing always makes leather look better. Like a comfy leather couch and a good read. ❤️ Thanks so much for the comment!

[@WellCraftedStudio]

BF Peake I really love this comment. I just read it to my 15 year old to show how cool some people think I am. Just thought I’d say thanks for making me sound kind of cool tonight!

[@fit2fiddle2]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has given me a lot of useful information!

[@WellCraftedStudio]

I’m so glad!!! Thank you for taking the time to tell me- it’s really encouraging! ❤️

[@juliasnider5905]

Beautiful and informative! :)

[@yvonnetucker1416]

very nice

[@annkwok952]

Great work! What kind of paint did you use?

[@WellCraftedStudio]

I used multi-surface craft paint from Michaels. I think I was using the Martha Stewart brand, but that was made by Plaid, and now there are other multi-surface craft paints at Michaels that I think are the same. There are lots of colors and they aren't too expensive.

I am a leathercraft and would to know if this machine is good cutting 4-5zo leather for wallets and light weigh project. Watching your videos it does look good for leather,just want to make sure before spending alot of money on something I can't do. Thank you Rob

[@WellCraftedStudio]

It get ya! It does a great job with cutting that weight leather with its knife tool. And it can cut super small holes in that weight as well. I think it could probably do stitch marks. Not sure about that though. You might also be interested in that it also has an engraving tool you can purchase that engraved leather really nicely. Thanks for your question! Let me know if you have any more. Jen

[@lauriegillihan2990]

Great tutorials! Have you ever done text on leather cuffs using the same tool with the Cricut Maker? Would that work? Also, what are the names of the tools you used for the edge finishing?

[@WellCraftedStudio]

Thanks for your comment!!! I have not tried text but I totally want to now! I don’t see why you couldn’t. I used an edging tool and a edge slicker. I have a blog post with links to the supplies if you’d like to see them. They are totally the secret sauce to making the edges look super nice!

[@mm0901]

Hi, very pretty! I know this video is over a year old... just wondering if you’ve tried the Angelus leather paints since then? I swear by them!

[@WellCraftedStudio]

NO!!! And they sound awesome! Thanks for the tip- totally going to check the paints out. ❤️

[@mm0901]

@@WellCraftedStudio I think you’ll really like them and they have GORGEOUS colors! Thanks for your quick reply 😊

[@debhorapedroza1705]

What kinda paint do you use

[@WellCraftedStudio]

I’m using multi-surface craft paint. You can get it at Michaels.

[@AJ-ej6mp]

@@WellCraftedStudio Beautiful! Does this type of paint crack or peel over time for you? Just wondering because there is Angelous leather paint but is sooo expensive. Just wanted to know your experience using multi-surface craft paint. Thank you! :)

[@phenomenal_woman]

Where did you get those cute tiny paint brushes?

[@WellCraftedStudio]

Evelyn Pinkard on Amazon! Aren’t they adorable? I have a link to the exact brush set in the tutorial post on my blog. The link is wellcraftedstudio.com/how-to-paint-and-finish-leather-cuffs/

[@nancyclegg3554]

i left a comment and question on your page but just in case i was wondering about the leather / is it tooling leather and how do you know what size or weight for bracelets ? thanks

[@WellCraftedStudio]

Hi Nancy, just circling around to make sure you got my email answer to this question.I did use 6-7oz. tooling leather. I hope you saw this a week ago but just in case…

[@nancyclegg3554]

@@WellCraftedStudio thanks you so much. Very nice of you. I actually didn’t see email. Now I know. 6-7oz. I ordered a batch of scrap leather on Amazon. It was absolute crap. Threw most of it away. I guess I will just try another place. Thanks again.

[@WellCraftedStudio]

@@nancyclegg3554 I bought mine from Tandy leather but have found it at Hobby Lobby too. You want untreated vegetable tan tooling leather.

[@nancyclegg3554]

@@WellCraftedStudio oh ok. Thanks for sharing this with me. I am in hobby lobby a lot. I will check out both. Thanks again
