Making a Leather Butterfly Bookmark

If you love to read or want to make something for the bookworm in your life, we have the perfect leather project for you! In this video, Daniel Reach creates a beautiful butterfly bookmark using 1-2 and 2-3 oz. tooled leather. Thin leather can be more difficult to tool, but as you can see, the results are well worth it. With a standard bevel, a swivel knife and a bit of paint, you can create this realistic butterfly that looks ready to fly off the page of your book.
