Tutorial on making a zippo lighter leather case (the easiest way to shape leather without a mold)

Found one Zippo lighter making tutorial, the publisher of the tutorial is a newcomer, so the production technology is not good, but the shaping provides an idea, that is, how to use ready-made tools to make shaped leather, such as using wire as a shaping tool and chopsticks as an edge grinding tool. ...I think it can be used as a reference for newcomers like me. The tutorial was found on the Sina blog, but it was obviously a reprint. However, the reprinter of the Sina blog simply removed the watermark on the picture and did not provide the source, so the original source is unknown. PS: As a semi-perfectionist, I have re-processed the pictures. Is this considered obsessive-compulsive disorder? ! ! I bought water chestnuts and twine. I made two key cases and a short clip, and then I was thinking about making a lighter holster. I want to make molded sleeves, but I don’t have a mold and I don’t know how to woodworking ,How to do it. Use your brain, find things, wire, pliers, and start sorting.

Then put the leather Soak it in water, put the lighter underneath, put the wire frame on top, and press it to the end

There is no G-clip, so I put it on the floor. I found a piece of heavy furniture at home to press the wire with its edge, and then went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I took it off to see the effect. The skin was not completely dry, but it was already set.

Crosse out the redundant Part

The remaining part is made on the back

Then use a chopstick to grind a groove for sealing Bian (lack of resources)

< /p>Because the condom is made relatively tight, a hole is dug at the bottom to facilitate pushing out the machine from below, wrapping the sand around the outside of the punch, and grinding the incision.

Cut a piece of leather to make a back clip, and decided to use a four-button buckle to make an openable and closable back clip. You don’t have to undress and take off the belt every time you put it on the belt. It turns out that the belt was cut to length, and then after it was finished, the head was cut again and a buckle cap was installed, which was a waste.

The sewing process is abbreviated. Finished product picture. Everyone Funny.
