Pick some leatherI recently started to use unwaxed kangaroo leather. Itsabout 1mm thick and its got a great feel to it. It is a slightly dark tan finish, which will get a bit darker once I seal it with conditioner. This wallet design would work with any similarly thin leather.

Print out patternThis pattern should give you all the instructions needed to make the wallet. Make sure you print it at 100%

Trace patternTrace the pattern including the stitching hole markings (on one side)

Lay pieces on top of each otherBefore punching the holes, put the pieces together and clampthem in place.

Clamped pieceBinder clips from the office supply store are useful for clamping the parts together.

Punch the stitching holesGo along the marked stithing holes with a rotary punch (or similar). If the spacing or alignment is slightly off, don't worry about it.

Hard to reach placesThe center of the wallet is a bit hard to reach with a normal rotary punch. If you don't have other punches, you'll have to crumple the leather a little. Since we'll stretch and bend the leather later, it doesn't matter if we leave small marks.

Card SlotsMark the card slots. Be careful to not get it too close to the main stitching holes punched in the previous step

Cut the card slotsCut between the 2 card slot holes.

Cut out stripCut out the strip that holds the flap down . We'll align the stitching holes in the next step

Align stitching holesHold the strip one hole from the bottom card slot, mark the position of the 2 holes you'll need on either side and punch them. Make sure that you don't align it in a way that'll lead to one hole being too close to the edge.

Condition or FinishI'm adding some leather conditioner and oil to finish and seal the leather before stitching
