In this leather craft video I show my process of making a magnetic tooled leather money clip from start to finish. This money clip holds cash via two powerful Neodymium magnets that are sandwiched between two pieces of natural vegetable tanned leather. The outside of the money clip is tooled with a basket weave pattern and is hand stitched together using purple Tiger threaded that matches the purple dyed basket weave accent colors. The edges of the clip are beveled and burnished by hand, and the surfaces have an antique finish applied to help give the clip a vintage look. I hope you find this little leather project interesting and enjoy the creation video.
