If you are interested in braiding instruction and learning the fundamental braiding skills but do not want the added travel expense, please consider purchasing a leather braiding kit first. It may be the answer. The kit contains all tools and materials necessary for the project items and the basic instructional book, The Art of Braiding - The Basics - Second Revised Ed. Using the kit will provide the opportunity to try braiding prior to signing up for instruction.
