The bigger pieces aren't as pink as I'd hoped, but lovely, soft and thin. The sparkly bits are also leather, I bought a pack of five but they gave me extra as they'd forgotten to send my order.
I just need some ideas now, preferably for useful things I'll actually use...
What did I buy them for, I hear you ask. Cos they is pretty and shiney :dance:

Ooh pretty, shiny... that's enough excuse.

Very pretty @Bodgeitandscarper do you carry a treat bag when you walk the dogs, or a poo bag holder? that would be good a use.
-
@Lilian Good ideas, but t'OH is Chief Poo Picker, and possibly wouldn't want any of those colours :P
-
@Bodgeitandscarper It would be difficult to misplace a shiny silver poo bag holder.
I use mineral makeup. I'd be making a holder for my makeup brushes. My shiny silver vinyl one is 10 years old, and mostly cracked and beige.....
A new leather makeup bag would be nice.
But in all honesty, I have truly been sketching ideas for making my own shoes....I'll not go into the details but all of my 8 arches have fallen.
Ooooh! On that vein.....house slippers!

Gloves, yes!

@BrendaP I had one of those belts back in the 70s, mine was purple suede 0_0 The link to the leather accessories ideas will keep me busy for a while, thank you.
I did wonder about gloves, but I don't think the big pieces are big enough for two gloves - not for my huge hands anyway, and they are not colours I'd wear anyway. And of course gloves are far too fiddly for me to make a neat job of :S

key fob, leather bookmark, scissor case, belt ends (could have elastic or fabric in the back)
