Beginner's Guide to Tooling Leather

New to tooling leather? This guide covers the 9 essential tooling tools to start with, plus 2 printable tooling patterns with step by step instructions and reference photos.

What's included?

2 x Tooling Patterns
A guide explaining the tools I used to tool them and the Steps in which to tool them.

I’m going to be doing a series of videos on my socials to compliment my Tooling Leather Tips videos, where I explain each of the steps outlined in the guide for both of the tooling patterns.

I needed a pattern to show you how to tool leather and all the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way so I thought why not make up a pattern pack so you can follow along!

Hi, my name is Emma

I’ve been working with leather for over 8 years, starting back in high school when I made my first bridle. I wanted a competition bridle for my horse but couldn’t afford one at the time, so I decided to make it myself! So what started as a one off project quickly turned into a passion for creating detailed, hand made leather pieces.

Recently I've decided that I'ld like to share what I know. This guide is the first of many! I’ve built it from the ground up and tested these patterns to make sure the tools and steps are simple and easy to follow, even if you’ve never tooled leather before!
