Leather Cutouts

Cutting out the leather pieces for the lion's mane was not as tough as I thought it was going to be.  It helps to have a nice big pair of Fiskars scissors.  I still had dents in my fingers when the job was done.  The mane patterns were copied and taped to pieces of white leather.  I bought an extra box of X-Acto blades for the leather cutting, but the scissors worked so well, the blades were never used.  A person can never have too many X-Acto blades.
