This is a hand-making tutorial for Redmoon style leather card holder. I chose pink leather, which looks pretty. It is not suitable for girls! The material is vegetable tanned leather with an outer layer of 1.8mm and an inner layer of 1.2mm.
1. First cut out a decorative corner, and use a pen knife to cut slowly and patiently.
2. Type out the drawing, trace it on the leather with a silver pen, and then cut it out according to the drawn line. Because silver pen marks cannot be erased on vegetable-tanned leather, all silver pen marks must be cut off. After cutting, dye together with the finished decorative corners. Use alcohol dye, tie the soft cloth into small balls, and apply it in circles two or three times.
3. The leather for lining is alsoCut.
4. Punch holes in Lingzhan and put buttons there.
5. Use CMC to treat the meat surface layer. Do not apply CMC to the parts to be bonded, otherwise it will not stick. After applying CMC, when it is almost dry, use a wooden stick to buff it until it feels a little bright.
6. When dealing with the decorative corners, deal with the inner side first. After trimming, apply CMC in the same way. When it is almost dry, sand it with a round wooden stick. It will be a little shiny after sanding.
7. Glue the decorative corners with white latex, then sew them with thread, and attach the key row later.
8. Continue suturing.
9. Turn over.
9. After sewing, fasten the buttons, and then start processing the edges. Some of the edges have been trimmed before sewing.
10. After trimming, use a sanding strip, that is, sandpaper to smooth it, first coarsely and then finely - apply CMC - then polish with a log stick - then apply CMC - then polish with a log stick, until you are satisfied.
