Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
First, cut a piece of the light shaded leather, making sure it is larger than your place card design. Freestyle or trace your pattern with a ballpoint pen onto the leather you plan to burn the name into. Keeping with the season, we chose a leaf pattern we found online to give the table an autumn accent. TIP: If using a pattern, be sure to trace it onto the leather with a pen first to avoid burning the original pattern. Not all the leaves have to be the same. Go to a fabric or thrift shop to find scraps of leather for all different colors and shades!
Step 2
Cut out each letter from your 1/4" material for easy maneuvering Layer extra leather under the leather you are using to protect your working surface. Using your Dremel VersaTip, begin following the pen outline to gently burn the leather and to give it a worn, aged look.
