The Spring of 2021 brings with it a wave of optimism, with vaccine rollouts underway across the world. The light is finally visible at the end of the tunnel for humanity as a whole, which has been going through a pandemic. What better way to welcome this spring than to show how much your loved ones mean to you by gifting them warm and heartfelt DIY gifts. 

Leather is synonymous with royalty and elegance and has always been. People are familiar with the material but have never considered stitching leather as a hobby. Stitching has always been associated with wool. However, you’ll be delighted to know that leathercrafting is similar to knitting wool. 

This 2021, we would like to put forth an attempt at rekindling the art of leathercrafting. This spring, gift your loved ones handmade leather products, packed with timelessness.

In a world that thrives on instant gratification, rather than buying something online, invest your time in leathercrafting and gift a present to your loved ones that will melt their heart even 20 years down the line. 

During this article, we’ll run through a series of interesting DIY leathercrafting projects that are exclusively hands-on.
