Main materials: buttero original color vegetable tanned 4 feet, new Jubilee horse tun leather 18ds ??required Tools: French chopper 3.0, ruler, ironing machine or edge holder with margin of 1.6mm, leather knife, 400 mesh and 1000 mesh sandpaper, edge sealing liquid production steps:

First open the required materials. The inner skin is buttero, and the amount of material is 4 Required for a short clip

Tsk, tut, take a bunch in hand

Pre-cut according to the pattern

First make the card position, because the card position is 3 stacked together, so the card position needs to be thinned here, of course there is a slight difference in 801 Don’t watch it

With the cutting edge of the leather knife facing down, make a cut about half of the skin deep, then tilt the knife head up and push it flat from right to left slowly, so that a small strip is cut off

The knife must be fast and the heart must be sharp when cutting. Jing

Finished The whole surface is a little uneven, then use a knife to smooth the uneven areas

The original thickness is about 1.4

It can be cut to 0.6, but it is too thin and not strong enough

After cutting it, you can make the clip position, glue the back cover and sew it

At the same time, press the left ID bag, you can use ironing machine, or a blank holder heated by an alcohol lamp

When the card position is ready, cut off the pre-larged edge, then press the line and cut. Be careful not to hit the gap in the card position when cutting

My method for trimming and sealing seams is to trim them with an edge trimmer. , apply water first, smooth it with 400-grit sandpaper, then apply water, 1000-grit sandpaper, then apply edge sealing liquid to semi-dry, grind with 1000-grit sandpaper, finally apply edge sealing liquid, and polish with cotton cloth after it is completely dry

Sew with the endothelium and it will appear later The luster is quite eye-catching

Seal the edge at the top

< /p>Next, cut the dough

First press the line and chop

Then cut the drum in sections, calculate the width of the drum, and use a spacing gauge to mark the width according to the width

The method for cutting the sections is to use a leather knife to enter the opening sideways and put a card underneath. The thickness of the shopping card is about 0.8, which is just right

Put in sideways to check the position of the blade, then cut off the top vertically

After cutting the section, use No. 3 edge trimmer to push it , can make the drumming more natural

The drum is ready in this way

Beat inside and stick together

The next step is to sew without thinking, sew and sew

After sewing and cutting the rounded corners, press the edge again and deepen the edge

Skip the edge sealing, there are detailed methods above

In this way, an exquisite and practical short clip is ready, which is very good as a gift or for personal use
