How to Make a DIY Leather Spanking Paddle

Okay, so if you’re looking for a solution for your urgent spanking needs right here and now, ordering a real leather spanking paddle, that will arive a few days from now, may not be any help. But there are actually a few things you have lying around the house that might be able to! And if not, maybe you just need a quick run to the dollar store. Let’s go over a few DIY options! Before we do that, I do have to make a disclaimer. We do not recommend making your own sex toys and always recommend that you purchase purpose-made sex toys from a reputable shop. We are in no way responsible for any harm caused due to the use or sharing of these DIYs. You are 100% responsible for the outcome should you choose to make your own sex toys. That said, here are some ideas for some DYI leather spanking paddles. Perhaps you’d like to experience a similar sensation before you choose to invest cash in a real one!

The Basics: Transform your favorite belt into a leather loop paddle!

The Basics: Transform your favorite belt into a leather loop paddle! - How to Make a DIY Leather Spanking Paddle
Simply grab whichever leather (or faux leather) belt you’re comfortable using and hold the two ends of the belt together in your hand to create a loop at the other end. This is a super easy and fun way to get some leather spanks in without actually having to get your hands on a paddle! If you don’t plan on using the belt again, you can also modify this DIY a bit more to fully transform it into a spanking loop! Remove the belt buckle (and other hardware) and line up the loose ends together. Wrap some tape or leather strips around both ends to create a nice and long handle. Now you have your very own leather loop paddle! But if you’re interested in a more thuddy, paddle-like item, it’s a bit more tricky – not impossible, just more tricky… But we’ve got you covered!

Step 1: Find any flat item with a handle

Step 1: Find any flat item with a handle - How to Make a DIY Leather Spanking Paddle
Preferably something that is somewhat durable. Again, the size, thickness, and durability is very much up to your personal needs from this DIY spanking paddle. Items like ping pong paddles or large and sturdy spatulas are great. Now you could stop here and simply use these items as they are and enjoy the sensations of their materials. But continue to the next step to add some leathery spice!

Step 2: Leather, leather, leather!

Step 2: Leather, leather, leather! - How to Make a DIY Leather Spanking Paddle
Okay, this is where you might want to go to a fabric store (or wherever you go to get your leather) and purchase a few feet of faux leather (you can get geniune leather if you want, but for this kind of DIY, faux leather is much cheaper and will do the trick just fine!). Now you can channel your inner arts and crafts nerd and have fun with it! Cut small strip of leather to wrap around the handle of your DIY paddle. You can coat the wide part of your paddle in the leather fabric for leathery impact! You can even hot glue some large beads onto your paddle before you drape the leather over for a more studded impact. You can find loads of inspiration on how to make a spanking paddle here in our blog post!

How to Use a Leather Spanking Paddle

Leather spanking paddles can be used in countless ways and in many different positions – especially if you’re also peppering some bondage in there… But let’s go over the complete basics of using leather spanking paddles to make sure that everyone’s spanking experience is safe and well-informed!

Communicate Beforehand

Communicate Beforehand

Before you just start whipping out your new paddle in the bedroom, just spanking away, it’s important to have an open conversation with your partner beforehand. You should both share your thoughts about your desires, your expectations, and your hesitations about your new spanking adventure. Make sure you’re on the same page and have fully understood the other persons approach.

Consent & Boundaries

Consent & Boundaries

Once you’re on the same page, you should also have a talk about your boundaries and consent. Agree on a safe word or a safe gesture that will stop any play immediately if you ever need it. Have you also made sure you’re both complete PRICKS? I mean, that you’re both aware of Personal Responsibility, Informed, and Consual about your Kink? This is a well-known safety philosophy among kinksters and highlights how you should be approaching your kinky practices responsibly, consensually, and informed.

Get situated...

Get situated...

Alright, before you smack away, you should get in your favorite spanking position. Over the knee is super popular (especially for DDLG dynamics) but not super practical for longer paddles. Any position that basically has your butt sticking out will do just fine! The important thing is to focus the impact around the more meaty areas of the body, where more flesh will be able to take the impact. Be sure to protect bones and organs during spanking sessions!

Warm up!

Warm up!

Once you’re in position and your sub is anxiously waiting for the delicious smacks (who knows, maybe they’re even tied up to elevate that excruciating punishment). Be sure to start out your spanking session with a gentle warm-up first. Get the blood flowing in the area in question with some sensual touches, light massaging, light spanks with your hands, or drag your paddle along their skin. When they’re all nice and warm, you’re ready to play about with your new leather spanking paddle!

How to Clean Leather Spanking Paddles

Spanking paddles are generally quite easy to clean and maintain since they have limited contact with body fluids. It's often sufficient to thoroughly wipe them down with a damp cloth, leave to air dry, and store protected from dust or lint. This is also fine in between individual uses of a leather spanking paddle, but once in a while your genuine leather will need more thorough care. Clean it with a leather cleanser (like saddle soap) and then treat with a leather conditioner to maintain that smooth surface.

FAQ

If you're used to a wooden paddle or even just a hand, a leather spanking paddle may very likely provide you with a slightly sharper impact. Whereas wooden paddles (or thicker leather paddles) offer a more thuddy impact, thinner pieces of pure leather willl often leave a stingier sensation.

The best material for you would depend a lot on your own preference in sensation. But leather is definitely as BDSM classic! The look and feel of it during any kinky play can definitely elevate the experience altogether!

...for you! That's the key. Figure out what your needs (and boundaries) are when it comes to spanking paddles. What are you looking for? Which size would you prefer? Do you want a slim or a broad paddle? Do you want some extra features, like a slapper, an imprint, some metal studs for extra impact? Once you've found out what you want, I'm sure we've got some helpful reviews here at Bedbible to help you find the perfect product for you!

By the end of this post, I'll give you some more detailed tips on this. But for now, I'll just subtly refer you to our blog post called "How to Make a Spanking Paddle: 13 Easy Ideas to Create a DIY BDSM Paddle". Any of these options can easily be wrapped in some genuine leather to recreate a similar sensation! That said, we do not recommend making your own sex toys and always recommend that you purchase purpose-made sex toys from a reputable shop. We are in no way responsible for any harm caused due to the use or sharing of these DIYs. You are 100% responsible for the outcome should you choose to make your own sex toys.

What is a Leather Spanking Paddle?

A leather spanking paddle is... exactly what it sounds like it is! A spanking paddle made of real leather. This material adds a certain value to the spanking practice both physically and visually. The leather look will always be a classic BDSM trait, and the sensations that come from leather can be as smooth and luxurious as it is sharp and unforgiving.
