How to Repair a Rip or Hole in Leather?
Clothes, fashion accessories, and furniture made out of leather can be both very handsome and very durable. Leather, however, like everything can get worn out over time. Goods made of leather, unfortunately, are also very expensive. To help save you the money you would have to spend to replace these leather goods, here are some simple instructions on how to perform leather repair. Often damage to leather will take the form of a small hole or rip in the leather. If this is the case, you can fix the leather by applying a patch to it. First, cut out the leather around the rip or hole. This is done to remove the frayed edges. However, try to keep the new hole as small as you can. Now, get a piece of paper and place it under the leather you just cut out. Take a pen and trace the shape of the opening. Cut out the shape you traced on the paper. Next find some leather you want to use as a patch. If you don’t have any in your home, visit a store that carries leather fabric to find a suitable replacement. Now, place the leather you found on a hard, flat surface. Pound it with a smooth headed hammer to get the piece of leather as flat and thin as you can. Now, take the paper guide you created earlier. Use the guide to cut out the patch. Next, retrieve some linen. Again use the paper guide to cut out a patch from the linen. However, this time cut it out with a one inch larger diameter around the edges of the paper guide. Next, use some glue specifically designed for garments and glue the leather patch on to the middle of the linen. Now, take the linen and leather patch and push it into the opposite side of the leather you are repairing so the linen is on the back and new leather patch is sticking through the front of the hole. Use the glue to stick the linen to the back side of the leather. For the last step, simply take the leather with the patch applied and place it under a very heavy weight. Leave the leather under this heavy weight for about two hours. After this time has elapsed, the leather patch will have dried and flattened into place. It should now have a much smoother appearance.
