How to make a leather watchbands for a classic timepiece or and Apple Watch
type: Product
description: Sometimes the best way to improve your craft is to step away from large builds and focus on something smaller, something that demands precision without taking weeks to complete. In Handcrafted Watchbands, Aaron Heizer walks you through creating two leather watchbands from start to finish. This course sits right at the transition from beginner to intermediate, giving you a chance to strengthen the skills that matter most while building something you’ll use every day. You’ll learn how to select the right materials, considering durability, flexibility, and finish. From there, you’ll move through patterning, cutting, and shaping before focusing on one of the most important parts of the build: clean, consistent hand stitching. This project is intentionally sized to be manageable — a way to practice control, improve accuracy, and develop confidence without the time commitment of larger items like bags. At the same time, the techniques you refine here carry directly into those bigger builds. By the end, you’ll have two finished watchbands and a stronger command of the fundamentals that elevate every piece you make. It’s a small project with lasting impact, the kind you’ll come back to whenever you want to sharpen your edge.
