I used a 4-prong on my sporran. These punch a hole without removing the material. Then get some common embroidery thread for 5-30 cents a hank, and a piece of beeswax to wax the thread. Get some lacing needles (look like a regular needle but with a dull tip that won't catch on the work).
When punching, always insert one prong in the last hole you made. This keeps the hole interval uniform. Just do a running stitch from one end to the other of your work, and then reverse and go back to the beginning. Total outlay for tools and materials about $10-$20 US (not counting glue and dye, if you want to color your leathers like I did here.

I've never done any leather work before, so anyone with some patience who can thread a needle can do this.
