Making a Leather Golf Ball Sleeve

In this project video, we are making a leather golf ball sleeve. This might be a little different project than the usual saddle shop request, but I feel like these will be popular in your shop to offer to your customers.
The sleeve holds 4 golf balls and has a snap at the top so that it can be clipped to a golf bag. And if you lose a ball on the course, a ball can easily be removed from the slot at the bottom of the sleeve without having to open the top.
If you are looking for a unique item that you can make easily and offer to your customers, I think this project will make a great addition.
Below are the links to purchase the pattern pack. We offer this pattern in a PRINTED and a DIGITAL version. If you are in the United States order the printed version... this is a large format print and you can't print this on your home printer. If you are outside of the USA, we offer the digital version and you will have to take to a print shop to have it printed.
PRINTED VERSION: shop.dgsaddlery.com/products/...
DIGITAL VERSION: shop.dgsaddlery.com/products/...

Very cool project! I have several family members that golf and Christmas is coming

[@kevinlawson5088]

I play golf and ima leather crafter/handcarver this is awesome.

[@fredob1397]

As a golfer I find this perfect. Rule one in golf is "It's better to look good than to play good" can't wait to make a set for the guys in my weekly foursome.

[@wulfschlueter2112]

Awesome

[@juliangonzales2916]

Muy bueno

[@garrett6371]

Bob Park teaches folks to use cordovan where they would use black. I don't know why, but it's hard to beat.

[@davidbrooks3817]

Hey Don, absolutely love this! What knife are you using to cut that leather? Thank you for your contribution to the trade!

[@th.burggraf7814]

[@kevincox6311]

What size sigma snap are u using Thank u in advance Great idea Mr Gonzales

[@mex700g8]

I got the pattern cant wait to make it first chance i get. Do u think 4 to 5 oz will hold up on the squeezing part. Thanks and l appreciate all ur videos and patterns there very helpful.

[@corbinrussell6368]

Nice job. What camouflage tool did you use on the flowers. Brand and number if you don’t mind. Thanks.

[@MrFullcount13]

Hey Don (or anyone else in the chat), I know you mentioned at the end of the video that you could see getting between $125 - $150 selling these. I'm fairly new into leather work and selling products. I was just wondering if that would be a good price point for someone that doesn't carry the weight of the "DG" logo? I hate to start off too high, but that's why I'm asking because that may not be too high at all. Great video and plan on ordering the pattern pack very soon! Thanks!

[@user-jt1kd2di3d]

Where can I get one of those x-acto knives at? Are those skiving blades?

[@jimsam270]

Mr. Gonzales, where do you get your leather stamps from?

[@richardalves-cd5me]

I've been trying to search for the blades you use for the hobby knife with no luck. Can you let me know where you get these? I'm sure its just how I'm searching for it online...

[@guybaldwin-bh1es]

What brand are your snap setters?

[@billcaldwell5569]

How do I get a pattern pack

[@jenkins1979]

Mr Gonzalez,where do you get those small plastic glue spreaders?Also I didn't hear what range of leather thickness do you recommend? Thank you

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

I believe makers leather supply sales them. I have the same ones and love them. If they don’t have them try The buckle guy.

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

I just made my first one and can’t seem to get it to squeeze out. I’m thinking the 7 ounce leather I used is too thick and will try dripping down to the recommended 5 ounce. Or maybe I will skive down the slot where the balls should elect from. Fun pattern to make for sure!!!

[@Goodhousecrafter]

I am on my second one and can’t get the balls to drop. I used 6 oz.

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

@@Goodhousecrafter I skived down my leather around the ball slot and where you squeeze to make the ball come out to about 4 ounces. Then made sure to work my leather a bit to loosen it up before i glued it together. This made my second and third holder work like a charm.

[@Odinwarez]

That snap setter that you used. Where could i get one??

[@tkfa11]

Barry King snap setter

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Golf, or pasture pool, is a walk ruined by hitting a small ball. Lol. What Snap Setter are you using?

[@johntuck8927]

Looks like the Barry King snap setter. I have one for line 24 snaps. Makes life much easier.

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

@johntuck8927 thank you, I'm going to get a set of those. My have to mortgage the house. Lol

[@bradtyler8791]

Do you use tan-Kate on your edges after dyeing them?

[@bradtyler8791]

Never mind I asked this before seeing the whole video. I see that you do this at the end after assembly

[@edwarnock9884]

Yeah, More golfers than riders. I, like you don't play golf. Many, many years ago, I took "golf and archery" in high school for my last PE class, archery was great, but I was lousy at golf. (Riding and roping was not offered as a class) The teacher told me I did not need to try out for his school golf team.

[@rafaelschultz5140]

"Promo SM" 💯

[@jenniferwhite6089]

why the hell i would think of a golf ball sheath is only good a golf club is used for is to beat the person senselessly who hiking your wheat field down for a 2bite ball strong words but think after the first one you would not step foot in my field to this time both of his arms were busted up I do have it 8-row barbwire fence to this time i am drugging the own of the golf course into the courtroom too he has not put up the net that would prevent this from happening to to bad for the million dollars homes will block their view lol was not the first or the last time i have run into a stupid golfer to lol i have a large dug-out i use for the irrigation of my fields I do have a rental property in the town we had no watering notice given to use the motor who owns the golf course he was watering the greens after my grass in town if he allows watering i am too have not got again finds this year lol cost him a lot of money to take me to court too

[@dickgustafson1541]

Don, I have tried everything with blue painters tape and every time I end up picking it off in little tiny pieces. It takes an hour on a small project. I have used different brands to and including 3M's best and it will never come off like it does for you. I have changed to shipping tape and that seems to work. I don't know why it works for you and not for me.

[@johnpace6859]

When removing, don't pull up on the tape. Pull it off as flat to the leather as poosible. Doesn't disturb the fibers of the leather as much this way either.

[@dickgustafson1541]

Don, What is the brand of stitching groover you used in this video. I have tried several and have not found one I really like yet.
