BeaverCraft leather wallet brown DIY kit instructions for use:
Start by reading the illustrated instruction booklet supplied carefully and watching the guide video using the link provided. Place the cutting board on the work surface. Use the paper templates to plan the customisation patterns if you want to decorate the wallet. If necessary, hold the leather parts together with masking tape while stitching. Use the pricking irons and hammer to make evenly spaced stitching holes along the edges of the leather according to the instructions. Stitching is done with waxed thread and two needles using a saddle stitch, which is a very durable stitching technique. After stitching, finish the edges of the leather with sandpaper and the microfibre cloth. Finally, apply leather patina balm to protect and finish the surface of the wallet.
Warnings:
- The kit contains sharp tools (scissors, needles, pricking irons) that can cause cuts or puncture wounds if used carelessly. Use the tools with care.
- Always use the hammer and pricking irons on the cutting board supplied to protect the work surface and the tools.
- Choking hazard: Small parts such as needles and pieces of thread must be kept out of the reach of small children and pets.
- Adult supervision is essential for users under 14, depending on their experience and motor skills.
- The leather patina balm is intended only for treating leather. Avoid getting it in the eyes or mouth. Wash your hands after use.
