For those who are interested, I would like to show how we created the briefcase with hedgehogs.

Embossing on the cover is made on the vegetable tanned leather. The cover is also decorated with four corded braiding.

    Firstly we sketch the design we want

    Then we moisten the leather using a sponge or spray

    To trace the sketch to the leather we use a press tool

    Then the image is cut along the outline with swivel knife

    Now it’s time to start the process of embossing

    We used Fiebings leather dyes to paint the image

    After applying primary colors, the image was covered with protector and rubbed with antique gel

    The briefcase is ready to be assembled, the only thing is left – the braiding

    After doing the braiding, we applied acrylic paint and varnished the image and that’s it!
