Create a desk/dresser mat from old leather belts!
My husband wanted a more masculine "topper" for his dresser...a place to put keys, wallet, etc. Apparently he was afraid of the vintage Limoges platter I had placed there! So I decided to craft him a "placemat" from gorgeously worn old leather belts from thrift stores.

Step 1Gather your old leather belts and trim them to size (I made mine approximately 22 inches long).
-
Step 2Now comes the tedious part...punching holes! Punch small holes along one side of each of the end belts, and along both sides of the interior belts.
-
Step 3Using your embroidery needle and thread, simply whip stitch them together to create your mat!
-
Step 4End result- a luxuriously worn leather mat. Perfect for protecting dresser tops from scratches!
