A fun, beginner-friendly project! This classic leather wallet features brass rivets, four card slots, two cash pockets, and a magnetic snap closure. All you need is a metal dot anvil, a hammer, and a hard surface to set the hardware. Veg-tanned leather has natural inconsistencies that add to it's character. It will darken in color and develop a beautiful, worn-in patina with time. We recommend protecting your leather with leather salve, available below. Get our your leather stamps out for an awesome, customizable gift.
Making multiples? Buy a 3-pack and save $20! (Does not include individual packaging + comes with only one set of printed instructions. If you plan on gifting kits, we recommend purchasing individually.)
Dimensions (when closed): 6 ¹⁄₂” W x 4” H
This kit includes all of the leather and hardware needed to make your wallet.
- (1) Pre-cut, hole-punched leather piece
- (1) Magentic snap
- (8) Metal double-cap rivets
- Link to on-demand instructional video
NOTE: In order to complete this project, you will also need a metal dot anvil (which can be added to your kit above), a hammer, and a hard surface. Optionally, we recommend using a bone folder to crease your leather and conditioning with leather salve for water-resistance.
To protect your wallet, we recommend conditioning it before you make with leather salve.
Because veg-tanned leather is not water-resistant, we highly recommend conditioning and protecting your wallet with leather salve, which can be applied with a horsehair brush and buffed with a flannel cloth. (Option to add to your kit above.) To learn more about leather care, visit our blog.

Protect it with leather salve for water resistance, condition it with leather oil to prevent cracking, and clean it with saddle soap when needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and water. Untreated vegetable-tanned leather can easily stain when exposed to water. To protect it, either keep it dry or treat it with a water-resistant leather salve.
Our leather goods kits are made of vegetable-tanned leather and are very durable. Some natural variation of color and texture is expected. The leather is a light tan color when new and will darken in color over time. The texture will also soften with use, developing a beautiful, worn-in patina.

Large Leather Wallet Kit
I made 3 wallets, 2 were gifts and 1 I kept for myself. Ellie is such a good teacher, construction of the wallets were easy and timely with her instructions and the end product were these beautiful, high quality, expensive looking leather wallets. My bonus daughter’s absolutely loved them and were amazed they were handcrafted by me. I highly recommend the leather wallet kit.
