Thank you, for this tutorial! I’m so glad I found this, and your have quite the eye for design and execution. I’m going to try this (and I’ll be new at it), but I’ll use scraps of leather, to experiment on, first. Would you mind sharing any tips for executing this on a small purse that I obviously can lay flat?

[@cheaneysaddles]

I would do a pencil sketch on paper of the idea you have the use a practice piece of leather before you try it on the purse. Another tip is to make a poster board template of the outline of the design you come up with this is what I do sometimes.

Silly question is a wood burning tool different to a soldering iron ? Can you just change the tip or is it a completely different tool?

[@cheaneysaddles]

A soldering iron should work the same with a modified tip.

Very new to the craft.. Did you ever do videos on transferring designs?

Some simple stamping designs to begin with try some inexpensive Craftools leather stamps from Tandy Leather.

It should work just fine. Have fun wood burning!

[@2rueblue]

Would a heat-regulated soldering iron ease the overheat of the tip, sometimes if I were soldering a circuit I would cool the tip using a wet sponge it didn't take much to bring the temperature down. But your freehand spacing of those letters is amazing I would be a master if I had a fraction of your talent sir, thank you for sharing some with us. All the best from Scotland.

Please don't get me wrong on something of a design thought, your letters was fairly blockish although you have two different A's, would they be better the same style. For me the A in CRAFT would fit better. Thanks

No limits on what you can do with this. I thought the bottom A just fit the banner a little better. Thanks for your comment.

Yes I have a piece I am working on now that is carved and I am darkening the background.

[@Lunamagpie33388]

wow looks so nice! I tried it myself some time ago but I was totally put off by the lines not being consistent (like getting bigger and smaller dots here and there) but I think it's just something that has to be accepted while doing pyro on leather. But also I used another tip, the one that resembles a blade, it makes the edges of the cut really nasty... Not recommending

[@shout2g]

As an artist, I’ve always accepted that, whether painting, carving, etching or burning, the lines will vary. And, to me... that shows that it’s handmade. If a design has symmetry, it will still be beautiful, despite the thinner or fatter lines/dots, etc. When a die is cast into the leather, it looks fine, but it’s not personal. Thanks, for the tip on the blade accessory - I’m new at this, so I appreciate you sharing that.
