Bela Kielt:
A Beautiful Leather Butterfly Bag Charm
A new tutor for 2025! We warmly welcome Bela to the craft taster who will show you how to make your butterfly, you will cut out shapes from a choice of leather using a stencil, then with a hole punch create patterns. Attach a hook fastening and add it to your bag for everyone to admire or perhaps turn it into a brooch if you prefer. This simple exercise will give you an idea of working with soft leather.

I will show you the tips and tricks, using the direct method, to create a beetle that will look beautiful on display in your home, either as a magnet on your fridge or you might decide to frame it instead (frame not included). There will be lots a sparkly bits on hand and there will be plenty of colours for you to choose from to make your beetle unique.
