Make Me: Leather Stamp Kit

£39.99

The Alphabet Stamp Kit is great fun to add your name, initials or an important date to your leather work.

The Alphabet Stamp set is of 6mm letters and number 0 – 9 so as well as personalising your work you can also get creative with the set to make shapes, symbols and creatures using them. Upside down Vs make great animal ears, a horizontal zero makes a nose and I’s make good whiskers.

The hammer has special acrylic heads so that it doesn’t damage the end of your stamping post.

Here’s a few tips to help you to get stamping:

  • The letters simply clip onto the end of the post
  • Hold the post upright and push it down firmly onto the surface before you strike it with the hammer
  • Keep focused on the end of the post where you want to hit it
  • It’s better to strike once hard than lots of gentle taps
  • To avoid wasting your leather and making a mistake on your finished work, why not practice your stamping first on a thick piece of cardboard?
  • Use a piece of masking tape to space out your letters evenly
  • It’s worth noting that simple letters like ‘J’ and I’ need a more gentle hit than complex letters like ‘B’ and ‘M’

How lovely to make something yourself and to then give it a personal touch!

Sustainability:

  • We use the finest Italian veg. tanned leathers in our kits from small tanneries, members of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata Al Vegetale in Tuscany
  • The leathers are supple, waxy and wonderfully tactile
  • The pieces for our kits are cut from the sections of leather that we can’t use in our shoemaking, so they help us to reduce waste.
  • Veg. tanned leather is a natural, organical material; the tone and depth of colour of the leather varies and will change with use and age, developing their own beautiful patina over time.
