Please understand.How to DIY an Attractive Leather Bow Bag Charm?The process of using our bowknot leather cutting die is detailed and user-friendly, catering to both beginners and experienced crafters:Prepare Your Material: Select leather scraps that are clean and of appropriate thickness. Trim to slightly exceed the die’s size for proper alignment.Set Up the Cutting Surface: Lay the leather on a flat, stable surface. For optimal results and blade protection, place an HDPE plastic cutting board underneath. This absorbs pressure and prolongs the die’s life.Position the Die:Choose the appropriate die for the part of the bow you want to cut (main body, loops, or tails). Align it on the leather, ensuring it is secure and won’t shift during cutting.Apply Pressure with a Press: Use a clicker press or arbor press to apply steady, even pressure, cutting through the leather to create the bow part with clean edges and 4mm holes.Remove the Cut Piece: Carefully lift the die to reveal the freshly cut bow part. Check for any minor imperfections, though the sharp blade typically ensures a smooth finish.Assemble the Bow: Use the three dies to cut out the necessary pieces (main body, two loops, and tails). Stack and align the pieces, securing them with rivets through the 4mm holes. Ensure the rivet shaft is approximately six times the leather thickness for a secure hold.Complete Your Project: Attach the bow to your desired item, such as a keychain, bag, or clothing, and optionally enhance it with dyeing, embossing, or other decorative techniques.Bulk Production (Optional): For larger-scale projects, repeat the process to cut multiple bow charms efficiently. The cutting die’s compatibility with presses ensures consistent results, making it ideal for craft fairs or small business production.Leather Thickness Recommendations:For most projects, we recommend using full-grain or top grain cowhide leather, which is available in various types and textures suitable for different needs.Bags: • Exterior: 1.8mm-2.0mm • Interior: 1.0mm-1.5mm Wallets: • Exterior: 1.5mm-1.8mm • Interior: 0.8mm-1.0mm Card Holders: Recommended leather thickness – 1.5mmNote: Interior leather includes materials used for the internal compartment, lining, and pocket.Check out Shock Crafts High Quality Leather Collections for more options.
