Since I made a small card holder with dye, I have been thinking about making a red moon style key bag for my wife. It is also because I feel that the pink color matches the red moon style very well. I found a blueprint in Yipi and started working on it. .
Because I sometimes forget to take photos as soon as I do it, not all the steps are taken. . .
I use vegetable tanned leather, the outer layer is 1.8mm, and the inner layer is 1.2mm.
Cut the decorative corners first, then use a pen knife to cut slowly, it takes patience
I made the drawings and traced them on the skin with a silver pen But be careful. Silver pen marks cannot be erased on vegetable tanned leather. Silver pen marks must be cut off. Alcohol dye is used for dyeing. I took the glasses cloth and tied it into a small ball and made circles. Just apply it two or three times.
Then cut the inner skin too
Then Lingzhan punches
Use CMC to process the meat surface layer. This step can also be done before cutting the skin. I did it after drilling the holes. , 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 polish it until it feels a little bright.
When processing the decorative corners, process the inner edges first because they are sewn first, and process the outer edges last. After trimming, apply CMC in the same way. When dry, sand with a log stick and finish. It will also be a little bright
First sew the decorative corners, glue them with white latex, and then sew them with thread. The key row will be glued later, and you can sew it first. Make sure one side is good, and then sew, otherwise the key row will always hang on the thread
Look back at it
Okay, the sewing is done! I feel like I'm done.
Oh, its a tragedy. There is also a thread on the button. I made a mistake. Its okay. Just cut the sutures again
This time the seams are really finished after sewing, and I started to process the edges. In fact, I trimmed some of the edges before sewing. It has been repaired. Due to the obstruction of the hardware after sewing, trimming will be a lot of trouble
After trimming, use a sanding strip, that is, sandpaper to smooth the edge, rough first and then Fine -> Apply CMC -> Polish with a log stick -> Apply CMC again -> Polish with a log stick again, anyway, do it until you are satisfied. I am lazy and feel like it is almost done
Finally, I installed the decorative buckle. I never decided which buckle to use, so I installed the buckle side only after seeing the effect. The other side was installed before.
Done! !
