These handmade leather coasters are a simple and beautiful project that can be finished in as little at 1 -3 hours depending on the amount of detail you want to put into them. One of the things I love about making these is that I can be as creative as I want with the colors and artwork on the coasters. These are very easy to customize and make for a very special and eye-catching gift. For added style I have stamped a small basket weave design into the interior circle of each coaster. This simple design doesn't require a lot of experience with leather tooling and is something even those who are new to leather tooling can succeed at making. Although if you are completely new to leather tooling, then I would always recommend practicing on a scrap piece of leather until you get a feel for things before trying too stamp your basket weave on your finished pieces. To accompany this project I have published a step by step video tutorial on Youtube to guide you through the crafting process. I have also made this pattern available for free on my website at, www.fischerworkshops.com . The pattern file also comes with additional details you might find helpful with this project, such as leather types and thicknesses I used, along with tools and products I used when making mine.

I think we can all get by without having to use real leather. The synthetic versions are equally attractive. The thing that matters more would always be the design. I am not saying leather is not good but I have to say we should really avoid it. No animal had to die just so we can have high quality clothing. The leather shoes, bags and jackets era should be made illegal already. The gentle creatures we steal from don't deserve such cruel treatment from humans. Look at them, they can't even hurt you. You make them your food and you steal their skin. No animal had to die from humans.
