How do you apply the leather... I bought brads and rivets, I don't have the tool that you hammer them together.
I have a leather supplier on ebay and couple of other sources. Do you know of anyone that sells scrap leather, I should say what kind do you use?
Pictures, yes pictures will do.

I am covering some heads this weekend. I will remember to take some shots. I use different kinds of leather. For large mouths that I want stiffer plates I use 1/4 inch thick tooling leather. I usually wait until its on sale from Tandy leather and buy an entire hide at one tiem. Its around 70 bucks, but enough to make dozens of puppets! The scrap I was refering to that I use to joing the other peices and I think Billy asked about I buy at Micheles art supply. If you have one they usually have a leather working secition with bags of scrap for projects. Its great stuff only about a few bucks a bag!

I apply the leather using the same glue I use on the foam. Its works great with the leather. Hay I tell you what I have to make some mouth plates anyway would anyone be intrested in a photo tutorial?

Oh.......we love pictures........we are visual learners.....bring on the pictures.....
? LOL
Truly it would be very thoughtful if you could show pictures and a little written on how you make your mouth plates. I am always looking at new ways to try them and heard of using leather but never have tried it yet.
Thanks for the thoughts and looking forward to your pictorial workshop.

I keep wondering when Michele is going to chime in, or if we should just go ahead and move at least part of this thread to the "Puppet Building" or "Projects" forum and continue it there...
