Making a beautiful leather gift is not something that should be thought of as hard. Whilst it is thought of as an expensive material, and a fabric that should be treated with care, creating something that reflects how beautiful the material is may not be as hard as you might think.
When making a leather craft, looking for the most beautiful hardware to accompany your gift is something that can really elevate the item you have made.
For example, if you are crafting a key ring as a gift, the actual metal key ring component you choose to attach your leather to is very important and can completely change the feeling and essence of what you have made!
There are many options to choose from, such as silver, gold or brass, so make sure to consider this when thinking about the person you are crafting the gift for.
