After celebrating my son's birthday on the theme of The Legend of Zelda - Breath Of The Wild, I decided to make him the traveler's shield. But, I thought it would even be cooler if I made him a backpack shaped as a shield, in which he could store his Link's costume.

I cut a big piece of 2mm veg tan cow leather, wet the leather with warm water, and embossed the design of the shield. Once both sides of shield were fully dry, I was able to dye it used water based leather dye and water based silver and gold for the boss and the rim of the shield. I applied two coats of neatsfoot oil and two coats of Super Shene leather finish on all parts and it was done (after a lot of stitching).

I'm super happy with the result, and as you'll see in the video, my son is as well :)
