 Whispers in Leather In the quiet corners of my workshop, where sunlight filters through the air, I birthed a companion—an unassuming 7x5" leather composition book holder. It arrived without a pattern, a creation born from intuition and the raw material at hand. Crispness: It wears its crispness like a well-pressed shirt. The edges, sharp as forgotten memories, align flawlessly. Each fold, a whispered promise—the kind that lingers after rain. The dark brown leather, weathered and wise, cradles the lined paper within.

How I Made a Leather Journal Cover from Scrap Leather I have always loved the feel and look of leather. Leather is a natural and durable material that ages beautifully and has a lot of character. That’s why I enjoy leather craft as a hobby. It allows me to create unique and personalized items that suit my style and needs. One of the items that I wanted to make was a leather journal cover. I love journaling and writing down my thoughts and ideas. I also like using composition books as my journals, because they are cheap, sturdy, and easy to find. However, I wanted to give them a more elegant and rustic feel, so I decided to make a leather cover for them. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on leather, so I looked for some scrap leather on eBay. I found a lot of leather pieces that were left over from other projects or had some flaws or defects. I didn’t mind that, because I think it adds more charm and personality to the leather. I bought a few pieces of different colors and textures,...
