If I wanted to start making leather bracelets as a hobby what kinds of tools would I need?

Also, where could I purchase those tools? Where would I get the leather from? What kind of start-up costs am I looking at? And is there some kind of site that walks you through this kind of hobby venture? Thanks for any help.

The answer to your question can be really complicated or very simple depending on the style of bracelets you want to make.
Some bracelets can be made using only lace, while others can require several tools and hardware.
I would suggest you contact a local Tandy Leather store (www.tandyleatherfactory.com) they can help you with the tools and supplies. But also check out. Its a free forum for the art.
