Making Filigree Cut Arm Guards

In this video, Chuck shows us how to create a beautiful pair of leather arm guards with a filigree cut design. A filigree cut is a design cut out of your leather for a seethrough effect. You can layer your filigree on top of another color material to make your design stand out even more. The result is a piece that looks intricate, but is actually quite easy to achieve with simple cuts and punches. A filigree is an extremely versatile technique that you can use to create everything from simple accents to elaborate designs.
