HOW TO WET FORM SMALL OBJECTS FROM LEATHER: BECAUSE THE TUTORIALS I FOUND ARE KIND OF SHIT
ALRIGHT GUYS SIT DOWN AND GET COMFY BECAUSE TODAY WE ARE GONNA LEARN HOW TO MAKE COOL THINGS OUT OF LEATHER:
STEP ONE: GATHER UR SHIT
YOU'RE GONNA NEED A SHIT TON SUPPLIES, AND THE FIRST AND FOREMOST IS 2MM THICK VEG TAN LEATHER. NOW IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LEATHER UR GONNA BE LIKE
BECAUSE SERIOUSLY THIS SHIT MAKES NO SENSE TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LEATHER.
SO BASICALLY AFTER THEY TAKE THE SKIN OFF THE COW AND TAKE OFF ALL THE HAIR IF AND GROSS SHIT, THEY TREAT THE LEATHER WITH STUFF TO MAKE IT ACT DIFFERENT WAYS WHEN YOU WORK WITH IT. VEG TAN LEATHER WILL SHRINK AND HARDEN WHEN IT GETS WET. THAT IS THE KIND YOU WANT. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE WHEN YOU'RE JUST STARTING OUT AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT BE LIKE MY MOTHER AND THINK YOU CAN WET FORM AN OLD LEATHER PURSE SHIT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. YOU CAN BUY IT HERE OR REALLY ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET JUST MAKE SURE ITS 2MM (5 OZ) VEG TAN LEATHER.
YOU'RE ALSO GONNA NEED:
HOT WATER
TONGS SO U DON'T BURN UR HANDS (OR YOU CAN JUST SAY 'FIRE CANNOT KILL A DRAGON' AND THEN U ARE AUTOMATICALLY PROTECTED AND ALSO A DRAGON)
PAPER AND PENCIL FOR PLANNING SHIT
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO USE TO SHAPE OR STAMP YOUR LEATHER
STEP TWO: PLAN THE THING
YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO MAKE A PAPER CUT OUT OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE IN CASE THINGS GET FUCKED UP AND YOU HAVE TO RESTART. NOW WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU WANT TO MAKE THE THING SOMEWHAT BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE BECAUSE UNLIKE DICKS LEATHER SHRINKS WHEN THINGS GET HOT AND WET.
STEP THREE: TRACE THE THING ONTO THE LEATHER
IF YOU CAN'T DO THIS PLEASE GO BACK TO KINDERGARTEN I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU
STEP FOUR: HEAT YOUR WATER AND STICK THE LEATHER IN
GET IT NEARLY BOILING AND IMMEDIATELY PUT UR LEATHER IN AND IT SHOULD START BUBBLING AND SHIT AND THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S WORKING
THEN IT SHOULD START GETTING SUPER DARK AND CURLING IN ON ITSELF AND THAT'S WHEN YOU PULL IT OUT LIKE YOU FORGOT TO BRING CONDOMS
STEP FIVE: MOLDING
NOW IS WHEN YOU HAVE TO WORK REALLY FAST OR ELSE YOU HAVE TO STICK YOUR THING RIGHT BACK IN THE HOT WATER AND HOPE IT DOESN'T SHRINK TOO MUCH.
ANYWAY AFTER YOU PULL IT OUT YOU HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN SECONDS TO PULL AND STRETCH YOUR LEATHER TO YOUR HEART'S DESIRE BEFORE IT STARTS TO HARDEN AGAIN.
ALSO YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO HAVE A MOLD LIKE FOR THIS ONE I JUST WRAPPED PART OF IT AROUND A PENCIL AND I WAS DONE REMEMBER THIS SHIT'S EASY
AFTER YOU GET ALL YOUR SHIT DONE YOU HAVE TO TRAP UR LEATHER THING BETWEEN TWO HARD (AND PREFERABLY COLD) OBJECTS TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING OR ELSE IT WILL CURL IN ON ITSELF AND LOOK STUPID AS FUCK (UNLESS THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING FOR IN WHICH CASE GO AHEAD)
OK YOU'RE DONE CONGRATS YOU HAVE MADE YOUR OBJECT NOW YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT LIKE 12 HOURS FOR THAT SHIT TO DRY BEFORE YOU CAN PAINT IT OR DO WHATEVER
ALSO REMEMBER THIS SHITS LIKE MAKING A BABY ON PURPOSE: IT PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK THE FIRST FEW TIMES BUT YOU'LL GET IT IN THE END AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE COOL STUFF OUT OF LEATHER.
