Being new to leathercraft I like talking as artists like yourself always include good tips, recommendations, options, alternatives, etc. Such as , you airbrushed dye or paint? Diluted? What color? What color antique did you use? Sealer? What do you use on your edges before burnishing? Noobs like me LOVE to know exactly what you used and did. You have some OUTSTANDING patterns I will be buying in the very near future.

Thank you very much :) I used Fillings Pro dye Walnut and Schokolad undiluted. Eco flow satin shene leather finish as resist, the resist I use to burnish too. I don't get payed for these products, sadly ^^

[@topazdrake42]

this would be an amazing bag to have for a fairy/nature spirit cosplay

[@NilsBeardfoot]

That is exaclty what I was aiming for :)

[@turtle2778]

VERY inspiring. I want to try my hand at something after watching all of your videos

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I am glade I you like them :) The acorn bag is a good starting project

[@sharoncarlson8673]

That is really cute. I don’t know what I would use it for. I would want longer strap so I could sling it over my shoulder like purse

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I feel you, I also like to build think without knowing what I want to uaw them for, but I thick a shoulder bag is a nice idea, maybe I make one of them :)

I like your videos when you're explaining what you're doing to create these more; this was still awesome, though! :)

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you for the feedback, I am glade you like my video. I also came to the conclusion even though there are a lot of "silent" building videos out there explaining is much more usefull when someone wants to build the item as well :)

[@djmccathran]

Love it!

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you :)

[@LaineyBug2020]

Dammit, I wanna watch it now! This is beautiful!

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Just another day, but have a look in my shop to see already more pictures

[@markmcskull1429]

Great bag. Absolutely wounderful. I think I prefer a little more comentary.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you very much :) I will keep the comments in mind, thank you

[@Sheepdog1314]

very cool

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you :)

[@navajador]

first off, I love this video. I have a few questions. First, do you think this is a good project for someone that never has worked with leather? Second, Where can I buy the leather and tools?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Hey there, thank you :) I think this is a good beginners project, had also some beginners making it, the only a bit tricky part is the rivets for the handle. For tools and leather there are plenty of sellers, idealy you look for someone in your country, google for sure finds someone, I can give you recommendations only for germany sorry

[@luckintherain4179]

You could probably make a strawberry like this too!

[@NilsBeardfoot]

You are right, that is accually a cool idea, thanks :)

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I've done it and am very pleased with the outcome, thank you again for this great idea :)

I don’t can subscribe the canal 😢 what’s going on???

[@NilsBeardfoot]

That is weird and definitily not indended. I tested it with another account and check my statistics and from there it looks like this is a problem only for you. Maybe try a reload / restart

[@osa313]

Eleana Workshop did something like that and is selling paterns... looks like she stole your work

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Does go into a similar direction true, maybe I inspired her^^

[@braddobson2060]

The price of your patter is far to high there are far better ones for far less money

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Well, if you don't like it, don't buy it

[@JnJShiffler]

Prove it. Send me a link to a better acorn bag? I'd like to see .
