The diagram shows the method by which animal skins are made to produce the items.

Overall

,

it is clear that

there are 11 stages in the process,starting with drying

skin

and ending with making leather products . In the first

stage

,the animal

skin

is dried under the sun for about one to two days and transported to the factory. Once

this

dried

skin

is in the factory, it is washed with water and lime in order to get rid of the dirt.In the following

stage

, the

skin

is soaked in lime so as to remove the oils and fats before going through the

stage

which is called the flattening

stage

.

Then

, the hide of animals is flattened by a roller machine for the purpose of having a flat surface. After that, the flattened

skin

goes through the tanning

stage

. At

this

point, the

skin

is soaked in a chemical which is called Tannin (a mixture of water and vegetable matter) Once

this

stage

is completed,leather is polished so that it looks shiny.

Finally

,the polished

skin

is sent to the factory to produce leather items

such

as bags,balls, and sports equipment.
