Leather Valet Tray // Makers Camp Edition ___________ Every year at @themakercamp in the Catskills there’s a maker swap where you submit some things you made, and you receive something another maker made. So for my first item this year, I decided to make a customized Maker Camp edition leather valet tray. I decided to incorporate some branded fabric that I picked up last year from the incredible @pattibrooklyn and I also cut out the Maker Camp logo in the base. Before I glued the base though, I burnished the edges with some Tokonole. To avoid gluing the exposed fabric section, I used the cut-out piece as a reference. Before stitching the base, I used my template to mark the corner holes and then added snaps to each corner. This allows the tray to be collapsible for traveling. After burnishing the tray’s edges, I scored the stitch line and punched the stitching holes. Then I used the saddle stitch to stitch everything together. And just like that I have my first swap item, a Makers Camp edition leather valet tray. As always, thanks for watching! ___________ I have this left over cutout logo piece of leather that I think would be fun to use to make something else – do me a favor and let me know in the comments what you think I should make with it. ___________ #valettray #catchall #leathergoods
