Making My Leather Dragon Scales & my DRAAK Dice Bags

My Dragon Scales are 3-Dimensional – they are not tooled or stamped leather! In the video below, I showcase the results of the techniques that I have developed and perfected. See my handcrafted leather dragon scales in action and how they’re used in finished pieces.

 

This short video shows the finished scales up close — revealing their texture, structure, and movement.

My Leather Dragon Scales back story...

dragon scales guitar strap custom design and sketch

I had developed the technique for making my Dragon Scales because of a customer request for a Dragon Scales Guitar Strap.

The strap design (see illustration on the left) was created using all top grade leather, and hand crafted to my customer's specifications. I custom make them and sell them on my website here.

My customer got hooked on them, so much so, she wanted them incorporated in other designs. That birthed my DRAAK Dragon Scales Leather Dice Bags - Dungeons and Dragons Game Pouch.

After the Dice Bags came Dragon Scales Bracers in a silvery pearl lambskin. After the Bracers, I designed, developed and created a Dragon Scales Leather Pillow (see photograph below).

Most exciting, was to view my Leather Dragon Scales on Television as part of a costume featured in the series, Legacies! Click here to check that out!


I use genuine lambskin leather hides. Each scale is hand molded one to give them their three dimensional affect before being stitched with an industrial sewing machine.

My Dragon Scales can be easily be implemented in your designs! They are perfect for costume making for Larp and Cosplay fun; perfect for your Medieval Rune and Crystal Coin Bag designs. The possibilities are endless and only limited to your imagination!

 

Should you want to incorporate my Dragon Scales into your costume or DIY leatherworking project, I offer my Dragon Scale Pieces in different sizes and dimensions, and welcome custom requests. I also stock my 3-D scales in many colors with more colors available for special order. For more information, check out my Dragon Scale Pieces, or  email me!

Happy Creating!
