► TOOLS MATERIALS: ► PATTERNS: ► BOTTLEHOOKS: Making a Wet Molded Leather Tool Belt 100% by Hand Kayleena’s partner Dustin is a tile mason, and his tool belt had worn out. We made him a new one using natural veg tan and wet molding what is essentially a leather wedding cake! This wet molded leather tool belt holster is a pretty advanced project, using wooden molds we made up and very thick vegetable tanned leather. The holster is hand sewn throughout with riveted seams for strength. We used Hermann Oak vegetable tanned leather and really enjoyed making this project, as it’s a more advanced leather crafting piece that came out well and will ultimately be extremely useful and utilitarian for years to come!
