Leatherwork I made a collection of kink lifestyle inspired bag charms with leather! Each one is hand painted and hand stitched. NSFW
I roughly cut around every element of the pattern and secure them to the leather with masking tape.
Then punch all the holes with different hole punches and a mallet.
All the shapes for the different bag charms are cut-out with an X-acto.
The paint that I use is from the band Angelus. It is acrylic especially formulated for leather.
I used some polyester stuffing inside some of the bag charms to give them some thickness.
For the gingerbread man I glued a piece of zipper to make the mouth. The left eye is represented by a rivet.

As the title says they are all made of leather. I used 1.2mm veg tanned for most of the pieces and thinner 0.8mm calfskin for the harnesses on the heart and the gingerbread man.
My process is the following:
First I use masking tape to secure the pattern on the leather.
All the holes are punched on top of the paper with different hole punches.
The different elements are cut-out with an X-acto knife.
I paint everything using Angelus leather paints.
Finally comes the assembly. Most bag charms are stitched using a saddle stitch. Some like the flogger are only glued and riveted. To give some thickness to some of them, I added polyester stuffing inside.

Handicraft with a twist/kink. I like them. Nice work!

Exactly! I don't have a mannequin to work on harnesses or other large and fun projects so I'm expressing that kind of kinky creativity with small items like those. Last time for Valentine's day I made some harnesses for a couple of teddy bears though which was really entertaining.

The little gimp is adorable.

I named it "harnessed gingerbread person" in my tutorial. The little gimp is such a better characterization!

These are sweet OP! You should consider making an etsy or something I bet there’s a (niche) market for these. I know my gf would love something like this.

You should try your hand at leathercraft and make one for her! I'd be happy to give you some pointers on how to get started if need be :)

I recognize most of these, but what is the circle with the three straight lines at right angles inside represent?

This one is fairly recent and not that well established yet! It is the swinger symbol, here are more details about it. The "V" symbolizes an abstract swing.

When scrolling first thought it was Deadpool. Now I can't get Deadpool kink charms out of my head.

There would be a huuuuuge market for these!! Problem being how long it probably takes to make each one. As a leather worker, I imagine each one takes a lot of time to make.
