Description
We are mesmerized by the possibilities of what this CraftTex paper can do. It is a leather feel craft paper that acts just like leather but can be easily sewn and formed. It is fully washable and weathers with use and age, just like real leather. It has a wonderful caramel leather color! It gives you that fabulous rugged look of leather but it sews, cuts and washes with the ease of cotton fabric. Seriously! The possibilities are endless… be on the look out for an embellished bag from us soon!
For this project, we used the leather-paper to make an oversized manila folder that holds papers, catalogs or even my laptop!!! It finishes app. 11" x 14 1/2", is bound on two sides with the lovely tape measure fabric that we adore and has a scrappy mostly Farmhouse pocket in the center. It is finished off with a large and small button and some waxed hemp twine for the enclosure. Kit includes all of it: leather-paper, detailed & diagrammed instructions, fabrics for pocket and binding, waxed hemp twine and 2 buttons [not: We used some vintage buttons that we had and are including 2 buttons in your kit that we think would be lovely but of course if you have some wonderful vintage buttons laying around…. you should definitely use those to dress up your folder!!]
