For braiding and weaving, leather is a fantastic material to use. It is soft and flexible, and it can be readily cut into different numbers of strands using the same techniques that I explain in my Alternative Guide On The Techniques Of Leather Braiding. It is also a great material for making fringe. However, although standard three-strand leather braids have a very distinct, and perhaps a little kitschy aesthetic, the fundamental methods you learn in the process of making braids serve as the framework for far more complicated and intriguing woven and braided leather creations. In this Guide, I'll show you a few of my favorite braid styles to give you a sense of the variety of options available when it comes to using leather braids. If you're searching for more excellent beginner leather training, go no further.
