Add a little boho chic to your home decor by making faux leather wall pockets. Using corkboard, faux leather and studs, you can spice up an otherwise drab wall space. Justina, DIY blogger at The Jungalow, has put together a simple do it yourself tutorial for a set of versatile wall pockets for your home. Add a few for the foyer, a perfect place to hook keys, or place in the kitchen to store extra mail. With a cool, laidback vibe, these wall pockets remind us of the retro finds at Anthropologie.

First, gather your materials, including circle cork mats in various sizes, small studs or spikes and a hot glue gun. For fabric, you’ll need to get leather pieces for the pocket and ½” wide leather strips for hanging. Buy your faux leather fabric available online at MJTrends, browse through our options here.
Start by cutting the leather pieces about a half inch smaller than the cork mat you intend on using.
Then, cut out the top part of the circle to create a pocket flap.
Using hot glue, attach the leather piece to the cork mat on all the sides, leaving the top open.
Add studs or spikes around sides as cool accents.
Wait for the piece to finish drying completely, then hold the corner down and stretch out the fabric slightly.
Next, glue down the leather strip to the edge of the cork, as this will serve as the hanging belt loop.
For the last step, create a knot and tie the leather strip at the top to finish up the loop.

Simple yet chic, these faux leather wall pockets are totally on-trend. Follow this easy tutorial and create a few as gift ideas for friends or to hang in your own home. If you’re looking to add your own flair, remember, we have a variety of gold studs or spikes and different colorways of faux leather fabric to choose from.
