Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	●	Management estimates and reporting
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets and liabilities with reported amounts based on significant estimates include trade accounts receivable, inventory (slow-moving), and deferred income taxes.
	●	Principles of consolidation
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Leather Factory, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership) and its corporate partners, Tandy Leather Company, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership) and its corporate partners, Mid-Continent Leather Sales, Inc. (an Oklahoma corporation), Roberts, Cushman & Company, Inc. (a Texas corporation), The Leather Factory of Canada, Ltd. (a Canadian corporation), Tandy Leather Factory UK Limited (a UK corporation), Tandy Leather Factory Australia Pty. Limited (an Australian corporation), and Tandy Leather Factory España, S.L. (a Spanish corporation). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	●	Foreign currency translation
	Foreign currency translation adjustments arise from activities of our foreign subsidiaries. Results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency translation adjustments of assets and liabilities are recorded in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions reported in the statements of income under the caption “Other (Income) Expense”, net, for all periods presented. We recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $41,000 and $26,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, and a foreign currency transaction loss of $200 in 2011.
	●	Revenue recognition
	Our sales generally occur via two methods: (1) at the store counter, and (2) shipment by common carrier. Sales at the counter are recorded and title passes as transactions occur. Otherwise, sales are recorded and title passes when the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Shipping terms are normally FOB shipping point. Sales tax and comparable foreign tax is excluded from revenue.
	We offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee to all customers and accept all product returns. Net sales represent gross sales less negotiated price allowances, product returns, and allowances for defective merchandise.
	●	Discounts
	We maintain four price levels on a consistent basis: retail, wholesale, business, and distributor. Gross sales are reported after deduction of discounts. We do not pay slotting fees or make other payments to resellers. Several customers require us to participate in their cooperative advertising programs. These programs are a negotiated percentage of their purchases and are accounted for as a reduction of sales.
	●	Expense categories
	Cost of goods sold includes inbound freight and duty charges from vendors to our central warehouse, freight and handling charges to move merchandise from our central warehouse to our stores, and manufacturing overhead, as appropriate.
	Operating expenses include all selling, general and administrative costs including wages and related employee expenses (payroll taxes, health benefits, savings plans, etc.), advertising, outbound freight charges (to ship merchandise to customers), rent, and utilities.
	●	Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five to ten years for equipment and machinery, seven to fifteen years for furniture and fixtures, five years for vehicles, and forty years for buildings and related improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
	●	Inventory
	Inventory is valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. In addition, the value of inventory is periodically reduced to net realizable value for slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on management's review of items on hand compared to their estimated future demand.
	●	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed annually or when events and circumstances warrant an earlier review. Impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value.
	●	Earnings per share
	Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes, to the extent inclusion of such shares would be dilutive to earnings per share, the effect of outstanding options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method.

The net effect of converting stock options and warrants to purchase 84,600, 125,600, and 90,600 shares of common stock at option prices less than the average market prices has been included in the computations of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	●	Goodwill and other intangibles
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, absent indicators of impairment during the interim. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires exercise of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, determination of appropriate discount rates and other important assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated at least annually for impairment. We completed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31 in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.
	A summary of changes in our goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
			Leather Factory			Tandy Leather			Total
	Balance, December 31, 2011		$	603,603		$	383,406		$	987,009

	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:
			As of December 31, 2013
			Gross			Accumulated Amortization			Net
	Trademarks, Copyrights		$	544,369		$	487,891		$	56,478

			$	727,585		$	582,052		$	145,533
	Excluding goodwill, we have no intangible assets not subject to amortization under U.S. GAAP. Amortization of intangible assets of $42,305 in 2013, $41,759 in 2012, and $44,933 in 2011 was recorded in operating expenses. The weighted average amortization period is 15 years for trademarks and copyrights. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding 5 years is as follows:
			Leather Factory			Tandy Leather			Total
	2014		$	505		$	45,004		$	45,509
	2015			-			40,302			40,302

2017			-			1000			1,000
2018			-			750			750
●	Fair value of financial Instruments
We measure fair value as an exit price, which is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering such assumptions, accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
Classification of the financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our principal financial instruments held consist of certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of the accounts. The terms of the long-term debt are considered reasonable for this type of financing; therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
●	Income taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the amount of taxes currently payable or refundable is accrued, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years when those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes from a change in tax rate is recognized through continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Changes in tax laws and rates could affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future.
A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax position must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized.
We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense and the effective tax rate in the period in which new information becomes available.
We may be subject to periodic audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of our tax positions, such as the timing and amount of deductions and allocation of taxable income to the various jurisdictions.
●	Stock-based compensation
We have one stock option plan which permits annual stock option grants to non-employee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Under this plan, 12,000 options were awarded to directors in each of the years 2013, 2012 and 2011. These options vest and become exercisable six months from the option grant date. We had two other stock option plans from 1995 which provided for stock option grants to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. These plans expired in 2005. The expiration of the plans has no effect on the options previously granted. Options outstanding and exercisable were granted at a stock option price which was not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option was granted and no option has a term in excess of ten years. We recognized share based compensation expense of $11,686, $10,000, and $33,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a component of operating expenses.

		2013			2012			2011
Weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted		$	0.97		$	0.83		$	1.19

Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised		$	113,790		$	9,572		N/A
As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.
Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $113,800 and $20,980, respectively. No stock options were exercised in 2011.
The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (BSM) with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		2013			2012			2011
Volatility		19.1		%		21.4	%		33.8	%
Expected option life			3			3			3
Interest rate (risk free)			0.8	%		0.875	%		1.5	%
Dividends			None			None			None
The assumptions are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on our historical experience and future expectations.
We also have a restricted stock plan that was adopted by our Board of Directors in January 2013 and approved by our stockholders in June 2013. The plan reserves up to 300,000 shares of our common stock for restricted stock awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Awards granted under the plan may be stock awards or performance awards, and may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of four years. No awards were made as of December 31, 2013.
●	Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes net income and certain other items that are recorded directly to Stockholders’ Equity. The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income is foreign currency translation adjustments.
●	Shipping and handling costs
All shipping and handling costs incurred by us are included in operating expenses on the statements of income. These costs totaled approximately $1,978,000, $1,767,000, and $1,725,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
●	Advertising
With the exception of catalog costs, advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Catalog costs are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the particular catalog in question, which is typically twelve to eighteen months. Such capitalized costs are included in other current assets and totaled $168,000 and $181,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total advertising expense was $4,099,000 in 2013; $3,543,000 in 2012; and $2,972,000 in 2011.
●	Cash flows presentation
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

	All current fixed maturity securities are classified as “available for sale” and are reported at carrying value, which approximates fair value based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. We have determined that our investment securities are available to support current operations and, accordingly, have classified such securities as current assets without regard to contractual maturities. We held no short-term investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Investments at December 31, 2011 consisted of certificates of deposit.

	●	Allowance for uncollectible accounts
	We maintain allowances for bad debts based on factors such as the composition of accounts receivable, the age of the accounts, historical bad debt experience, and our evaluation of the financial condition and past collection history of each customer. Accounts are written off as they are deemed uncollectible based on a periodic review of accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,000 and $112,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The following is a roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts:

	●	Sales returns and defective merchandise
	Product returns are generally recorded directly against sales as those returns occur. Historically, the amount of returns is immaterial and as a result, no reserve is recorded in the financial statements.
	●	Slow-moving and obsolete inventory
	The majority of inventory items maintained by us have no restrictive shelf life. We review all inventory items annually to determine what items should be eliminated from the product line. Items are selected for several reasons: (1) the item is slow-moving; (2) the supplier is unable to provide an acceptable quality or quantity; or (3) to maintain a freshness in the product line. Reductions in inventory for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are recorded directly against inventory.

Under the terms of the Line of Credit Note, we could borrow from time to time until April 30, 2008, up to the lesser of $5,500,000 or 90% of the cost of the property and make monthly interest payments. On April 30, 2008, the principal balance was rolled into a 10-year term note with an interest rate of 7.10% per annum.
	Proceeds in the amount of $4,050,000 were used to fund the purchase of the property from Standard Motor Products, Inc. under an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated June 25, 2007, which closed on July 31, 2007. No further borrowings were drawn.

	We have a 401(k) plan to provide retirement benefits for our employees. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the plan provides tax-deferred salary contributions for eligible employees and allows employees to contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to the plan on a pretax basis. Employee contributions are limited to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Code. In 2013 and 2012, we matched 100% of the pretax employee contributions on the first 3% of eligible earnings and 50% of the pretax employee contributions on the next 2% of eligible earnings that are contributed by employees. In 2011, we matched 100% of the pretax employee contributions on the first 3% of the eligible earnings that are contributed by employees.
	Year Ended December 31,	Maximum Matching		Total Matching

	2012	$	7,500	$	308,567
	2011	$	7,350	$	217,539
	* Due to the annual limit on eligible earnings imposed by the Internal Revenue Code
	The plan allows employees who meet the age requirements and reach the plan contribution limits to make a catch-up contribution. The catch-up contributions are not eligible for matching contributions. In addition, the plan provides for discretionary matching contributions as determined by the Board of Directors. There were no discretionary matching contributions made in 2013, 2012 or 2011.
	We currently offer no postretirement or postemployment benefits to our employees.

	Legal Proceedings
	On March 16, 2011, two former employees of ours filed a lawsuit, entitled Mark Barnes and Jerry Mercante on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated v. Tandy Leather Company, Inc., Tandy Leather Factory, and Does 1-50, in the US District Court for the District of Nevada. The lawsuit was subsequently transferred to the United State District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division (“Court”), and an amended complaint was filed on May 9, 2011 by plaintiffs to add another former employee, Donna Cavota, as a third named plaintiff. The suit alleged that we violated requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as various state wage laws. Plaintiffs sought to represent themselves and all similarly situated U.S. current and former store managers of ours. A Settlement Agreement was reached between the parties, and on September 24, 2012, the Court issued an Order Preliminarily Approving the Settlement of all federal and state claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the litigation. We continue to deny any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation, any liability or wrongdoing, and the truth of plaintiffs’ allegations. We agreed to enter into the Settlement Agreement to avoid further expense and inconvenience, end the disruption and burden of the litigation, avoid any other present or future litigation arising out of the facts that gave rise to the litigation, avoid the risk inherent in uncertain complex litigation, and to put to rest the controversy underlying the litigation.
	The Settlement Agreement preliminarily approved by the Court required us to establish a fund designated as a Qualified Settlement Fund (Escrow Account) in the amount of $993,386 to fund (1) settlement payments to the plaintiffs, (2) settlement payments to the other members of the settlement class who joined the case, (3) plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses, and (4) and the claim administrator (Escrow Agent’s) fees and expenses.   The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement which was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2012.
	The deadline established by the Court for any persons employed by us as store managers between November 23, 2008 and September 24, 2012 to join the lawsuit as class members expired on May 24, 2013. On June 28, 2013, the Court issued two orders: (1) an Order Approving Class and Collective Action Settlement and Dismissing Case with Prejudice, and (2) a Final Judgment, Approving Class and Collective Action Settlement and Dismissing Case with Prejudice. Pursuant to the Court’s June 28, 2013 orders, the claims administrator (Escrow Agent) was required to make payments to the plaintiffs and those existing and former store managers who joined the lawsuit by signing and returning Consent to Join Forms, which contained a release of us from the claims asserted in plaintiffs’ lawsuit.
	The settlement payments to the class members and the plaintiffs were made from the Escrow Account pursuant to the formula set forth in the Settlement Agreement by the claims administrator, as well as the payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of the claims administrator (Escrow Agent). The total payment from the Escrow Account, including our required FICA payments based on the settlement payments, was $744,273 from the total Escrow Account of $993,386. All payments were made by the claims administrator and the balance of the Escrow Account (approximately $249,000) was returned to us in the first quarter of 2014.
	In connection with the settlement, we recorded a charge to operations of $993,386 during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as this amount, as ordered by the Court, covered the full settlement of all claims of the plaintiffs and the class members, plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, and the fees and expenses of the claims administrator (Escrow Agent) in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement. In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a benefit of approximately $312,000, which was the expected remaining balance in the Escrow Account after all payments have been made. Payroll taxes associated with the payments to claimants of approximately $63,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	We are periodically involved in various other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business and operations. There are no such matters pending that we expect to have a material impact on our financial position and operating results. Legal costs associated with the resolution of claims, lawsuits and other contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]	'
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	10. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND RISK
	Major Customers
	Our revenues are derived from a diverse group of customers primarily involved in the sale of leathercraft. While no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our consolidated revenues in 2013, 2012 or 2011, sales to our five largest customers represented 2.5%, 2.9% and 5.5%, respectively, of consolidated revenues in those years. While we do not believe the loss of one of these customers would have a significant negative impact on our operations, we do believe the loss of several of these customers simultaneously or a substantial reduction in sales generated by them could temporarily affect our operating results.
	Major Vendors
	We purchase a significant portion of our inventory through one supplier. Due to the number of alternative sources of supply, loss of this supplier would not have an adverse impact on our operations.
	Credit Risk
	Due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base, concentrations of credit risk with respect to customer receivables are limited. At December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 16%, 30% and 34%, respectively, of our consolidated accounts receivable were due from two nationally recognized retail chains. We do not generally require collateral for accounts receivable, but we do perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and believe the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. It is our opinion that if any one or a group of customer receivable balances should be deemed uncollectable, it would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
	We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents.

	a)	Stock Option Plan
	In connection with its 2007 Director Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for non-employee directors, there are outstanding options to purchase our common stock. The plan provides for the granting of non-qualified options at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options are granted at the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant and vest after six months. We have reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan.
	We had two other stock options plans from 1995 which provided stock option grants to officers, key employees, and non-employee directors. These plans expired in 2005. The expiration of the plans had no effect on the options previously granted.
	All options expire ten years from date of grant and are exercisable at any time after vesting. Of the 100,000 shares available for issuance, there are 21,400 un-optioned shares available for future grants.
	A summary of stock option transactions for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, is as follows:
			2013							2012							2011

	We have a restricted stock plan that was adopted by our Board of Directors in January 2013 and approved by our stockholders in June 2013. The plan reserves up to 300,000 shares of our common stock for restricted stock awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Awards granted under the plan may be stock awards or performance awards, and may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of four years. No awards had been made as of December 31, 2013.
	b)	Cash Dividend
	In February 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a $0.25 per share special one-time cash dividend that was paid to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2012. We released the funds used to pay for the special one-time cash dividend on March 29, 2012 and the dividend, totaling $2.5 million, was paid to stockholders on April 2, 2012.
	Our Board will determine future cash dividends after giving consideration to our then existing levels of profit and cash flow, capital requirements, current and forecasted liquidity, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time.
	c)	Stockholder Rights Plan
	On June 6, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.0024 per share, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 16, 2013. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a newly created series of preferred stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per right. The Rights are exercisable in the event any person or group acquires 20% or more of our outstanding common stock, or commences a tender offer or exchange offer that would results in such person becoming an Acquiring Person. An exception is included in the Rights Plan in order to ensure that certain owners are not by virtue of their share ownership automatically deemed to be an Acquiring Person upon adoption of the plan unless any such owner subsequently accrues additional shares of our common stock and after giving effect to such acquisition owns 20% or more of our outstanding common stock. The Rights will expire at 5:00 P.M. Eastern on June 6, 2016, unless such date is advanced or extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by our Board.

	14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). This standard update requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements as it only required a change in the format of presentation.
	In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment”.  ASU 2011-08 provides companies with a new option to determine whether or not it is necessary to apply the traditional two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  Under ASU 2011-08 companies are no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless it determines, on the basis of qualitative information, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  ASU 2011-08 was effective for periods ending after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted for periods ending after September 15, 2011.   The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve reporting by requiring entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the statement of operations. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 were required to be applied retrospectively and were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Management estimates and reporting
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets and liabilities with reported amounts based on significant estimates include trade accounts receivable, inventory (slow-moving), and deferred income taxes.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of consolidation
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Leather Factory, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership) and its corporate partners, Tandy Leather Company, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership) and its corporate partners, Mid-Continent Leather Sales, Inc. (an Oklahoma corporation), Roberts, Cushman & Company, Inc. (a Texas corporation), The Leather Factory of Canada, Ltd. (a Canadian corporation), Tandy Leather Factory UK Limited (a UK corporation), Tandy Leather Factory Australia Pty. Limited (an Australian corporation), and Tandy Leather Factory España, S.L. (a Spanish corporation). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign currency translation
	Foreign currency translation adjustments arise from activities of our foreign subsidiaries. Results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency translation adjustments of assets and liabilities are recorded in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions reported in the statements of income under the caption “Other (Income) Expense”, net, for all periods presented. We recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $41,000 and $26,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, and a foreign currency transaction loss of $200 in 2011.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue recognition
	Our sales generally occur via two methods: (1) at the store counter, and (2) shipment by common carrier. Sales at the counter are recorded and title passes as transactions occur. Otherwise, sales are recorded and title passes when the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Shipping terms are normally FOB shipping point. Sales tax and comparable foreign tax is excluded from revenue.
	We offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee to all customers and accept all product returns. Net sales represent gross sales less negotiated price allowances, product returns, and allowances for defective merchandise.
Revenue Recognition, Discounts [Policy Text Block]	'
	Discounts
	We maintain four price levels on a consistent basis: retail, wholesale, business, and distributor. Gross sales are reported after deduction of discounts. We do not pay slotting fees or make other payments to resellers. Several customers require us to participate in their cooperative advertising programs. These programs are a negotiated percentage of their purchases and are accounted for as a reduction of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Expense categories
	Cost of goods sold includes inbound freight and duty charges from vendors to our central warehouse, freight and handling charges to move merchandise from our central warehouse to our stores, and manufacturing overhead, as appropriate.
	Operating expenses include all selling, general and administrative costs including wages and related employee expenses (payroll taxes, health benefits, savings plans, etc.), advertising, outbound freight charges (to ship merchandise to customers), rent, and utilities
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five to ten years for equipment and machinery, seven to fifteen years for furniture and fixtures, five years for vehicles, and forty years for buildings and related improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventory
	Inventory is valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. In addition, the value of inventory is periodically reduced to net realizable value for slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on management's review of items on hand compared to their estimated future demand.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Potential impairments of long-lived assets are reviewed annually or when events and circumstances warrant an earlier review. Impairment is determined when estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings per share
	Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes, to the extent inclusion of such shares would be dilutive to earnings per share, the effect of outstanding options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill and other intangibles
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, absent indicators of impairment during the interim. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires exercise of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, determination of appropriate discount rates and other important assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated at least annually for impairment. We completed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31 in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.
	A summary of changes in our goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Excluding goodwill, we have no intangible assets not subject to amortization under U.S. GAAP. Amortization of intangible assets of $42,305 in 2013, $41,759 in 2012, and $44,933 in 2011 was recorded in operating expenses. The weighted average amortization period is 15 years for trademarks and copyrights. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding 5 years is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair value of financial Instruments
	We measure fair value as an exit price, which is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering such assumptions, accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
	Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
	Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
	Classification of the financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Our principal financial instruments held consist of certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term debt. The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of the accounts. The terms of the long-term debt are considered reasonable for this type of financing; therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income taxes
	We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the amount of taxes currently payable or refundable is accrued, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities.
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years when those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes from a change in tax rate is recognized through continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Changes in tax laws and rates could affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future.
	A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax position must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized.
	We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense and the effective tax rate in the period in which new information becomes available.
	We may be subject to periodic audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of our tax positions, such as the timing and amount of deductions and allocation of taxable income to the various jurisdictions.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-based compensation
	We have one stock option plan which permits annual stock option grants to non-employee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Under this plan, 12,000 options were awarded to directors in each of the years 2013, 2012 and 2011. These options vest and become exercisable six months from the option grant date. We had two other stock option plans from 1995 which provided for stock option grants to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. These plans expired in 2005. The expiration of the plans has no effect on the options previously granted. Options outstanding and exercisable were granted at a stock option price which was not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option was granted and no option has a term in excess of ten years. We recognized share based compensation expense of $11,686, $10,000, and $33,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a component of operating expenses.
	The stock option activity under our stock option plans was as follows:

	Other information pertaining to option activity during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
	Weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted	$	0.97		$	0.83		$	1.19
	Total fair value of stock options vested	$	11,686		$	10,000		$	14,257
	Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	113,790		$	9,572		N/A
	As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.
	Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $113,800 and $20,980, respectively. No stock options were exercised in 2011.
	The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (BSM) with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		2013			2012			2011
	Volatility	19.1		%		21.4	%		33.8	%
	Expected option life		3			3			3
	Interest rate (risk free)		0.8	%		0.875	%		1.5	%
	Dividends		None			None			None
	The assumptions are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on our historical experience and future expectations.
	We also have a restricted stock plan that was adopted by our Board of Directors in January 2013 and approved by our stockholders in June 2013. The plan reserves up to 300,000 shares of our common stock for restricted stock awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Awards granted under the plan may be stock awards or performance awards, and may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of four years. No awards were made as of December 31, 2013.
