What is leather paper?

If you're not already familiar with this fun paper, it's definitely worth a try. Although it's actually paper, it has a surface similar to leather and can be used in the same way as you would normally use fabric.

Leather paper is a 100% vegan material, which means it's a great alternative for those who want to be creative in a climate-conscious way - or those who just want to try something different. It's a material that's really hard to define, but one that we definitely think you should consider trying out.

Ideas for projects with leather paper

When it comes to leather paper, the possibilities are almost endless. It's an exciting material that allows you to work with three different surfaces and materials at once;

• Leather
• Fabric
• Paper

You get the best properties of all three materials in one package. Some of the leather paper ideas you can try are:

Bags and purses

The tough paper is durable, so it can easily stand up to you sewing in it. If you want to experiment with durability and shape, small purses and bags are a good place to start. You can start small with a wallet for your phone or headphones and work your way up from there.

Bags for storage

Because the material is so rigid, it's also ideal for those who want to make some rustic bags for storage. By sewing the paper together and possibly rolling down the top edge, you can create highly durable and form-fitting bags that can function in the same way as small or large baskets.

Surface treatment

As well as sewing into leather paper, there are a number of other things you can do to it to change the feel and look of the surface. It's something that's both exciting and enjoyable to experiment with if you take a chance on this material. Some of the most popular ways to treat the surface are:

• Machine wash to soften the surface
• Tumble drying to give the surface a suede-like finish
• Ironing, which can be used to attach items
• Embossing, for fine patterns.
