Making a Leather Zipper Wallet by Hand
I love making zipper wallets our of leather, especially by hand. This leather zipper wallet is handmade using natural vegetable tanned leather, with a brass RiRi zipper and Vinymo threads from Japan. It's very easy to hand sew a zipper into leather using basting tape, though make sure to get a thin cut tape so you don't have to cut the roll in half like I did with this roll!
The natural vegetable tanned leather was tanned outside then treated with a bee's wax and neatsfoot cream, then burnished to a shine by hand. The wallet was hand stitched with a saddle stitch, and burnished natural edges were brought to a shine with pure local bee's wax. It's important when you're sewing a zipper into leather to allow enough of a tolerance to sew the zipper tape on the sides of the opening for the zipper in the leather, so make sure not to cut your opening too wide!

Love your videos! Where can I find the zippers that you use?

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

One of the very first things I did starting out was to make a coin wallet. THIS is nothing like that! So well crafted. And the plate was brilliant! 😁

That's so simple and functional. Been wanting to try vinymo thread. What size is that?

[@debabrataghosh8532]

Brother Great Video..

[@Josh_Luijsterburg]

Neat design excellent made. Love your work. Did you burnish/paint the edges? Would give a nice touch to it 😊

[@jamieswanson8828]

I thought it was so funny that you used a plate. I do the same thing for scallops on chaps. I used to cut my double sided tape down the middle too to make it narrower but I found a big roll of 1/4" at Wawak. Order that you will love it. Thanks for the great video!!

[@Corter]

I think using random kitchenware has become an integral part of my process :) I hear you on the tape - ordered the wrong size accidentally and been trying to work through it, I have a roll of proper 1/4" tape ready to go when it's done!

[@denvatrang80]

wow it's great .

When you are building wallets what is the weight of most of them and what range would you recommend? I am practicing with the thread that came with the kit and scraps from a friend and a 5-6oz vegetable tan from Michael's.

[@Bagmaker0]
