3. Look at other peoples design and try making your own patterns inspired by them, it'll teach you a bunch about how to construct stuff.

2. Buy or reuse nice hardware if you can - The cost of the time to hand make something usually far outweighs the cost of nice hardware, and nice hardware adds a lot to the feel of a piece.

1. Learn how to finish edges well (beveling, dyeing, and burnishing) - You can often tell nicely vs quickly made stuff by how well finished the edges are.
