Passport cover made of leather

Leather covers for passports have become very popular with needlewomen. At manufacturing the natural leather and manual work is used, so it is not cheap.

But it's not difficult to make it, but it's exactly such a cover on a passport from the skin with your own hands that it will be in a single copy.

What is needed

• Leather;
• Punch for the skin;
• Adhesive;
• Silo or thin screwdriver;
• Ruler;Chalk or handle.

Description of work step by step

Cut out a cardboard( 19 × 14 cm) according to passport size. Attach it to the skin and cut it out.

It is possible to combine 2 skin colors, for this purpose cut off from the base color a strip of any shape and cut it exactly the same strip of another color.

It is very difficult to glue two pieces of skin, so we will fasten them with holes. And so that when piercing pieces of skin do not creep in your hands, you need to glue them with paper tape.

Mark the entire contour of the cover where you want to make holes. It is better to take the distance between them at 7 mm, and the width of the marking to do about 3 mm. Now you need to make holes in the targeted places.

Cut the sides to which you will need to insert a passport. To do this, attach the cover and traverse its edges, cut out two sides, straighten the irregularities. Glue them to the main piece of skin. Important! To ensure that the corners do not bend when braiding, you need to glue additional pieces of skin between the bead and the main piece to the corners.

Cut from a long piece of leather strip 3 mm wide. If the length of one strip is not enough to make a braid, then you can glue other strips to it.

During the braid you need to be careful not to miss holes and do not tighten the tape tightly, but you do not need to leave any space. That's all, the cover is ready! You can leave it that way, but you can decorate it in any way you like.
