Leaf embossing process, detailed process of hand-made short clips

Original text http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4581042634 Author: The leather carving Tangcao long clip made by Brother Shendiao before was a bit big, and there were few clothes in summer, so it was not convenient to carry, so I decided to make a smaller short clip. In addition, there is a woven leather chain that can be hung on the back pocket. There are too many leather carvings, so I tried to use real leaves to emboss them this time. I didn’t expect the effect to be good. Since I have fallen in love with brass etching recently, So I specially made a brass plate with a LOGO to match it with the short clip. The mix and match feeling is still very good. I hope everyone likes it! Production tools: Basic hand sewing tools, G-clip, and Chevron Board production materials: vegetable tanned leather, 0.8mm copper plate, white glue, wax wire, snap buttons, rivets

To select leaves, I picked them from a big tree near my home. In view of my poor knowledge of botany, I did not know that tree at all. Of course, the leaves of the tree will not be ripe yet, but as long as they meet the requirements, the leaves will be full and the texture will be clear.

Select a piece size Suitable 2.0mm thick primary color vegetable tanned leather is used as the outer skin of the short clip, that is, leather printed with leaf patterns

Use Chevron board (acrylic is also acceptable, as long as the hard board is flat) to make two plywood slightly larger than the outer skin

ThenWet the outer surface of the skin, put the leaves on it, pay attention to the side with clear veins touching the skin, then use a splint to clamp the leaves and skin, fix it with a G-clip, and wait for half an hour

Buy a suitable G-clip

Then use plywood to clamp the leaves and leather , secure it with G-clip and wait for half an hour

The following is the effect after clamping

You can see that even the small leaf veins are very clear

For dyeing, use the dry rubbing method. First put on rubber gloves, and then fold the pure white cotton cloth several times to achieve For firmness, dip a small amount of brown alcohol dye

Don't rub it directly on the leather. There is a lot of dye in the cotton fabric at this time, which will directly stain the leather surface. You need to apply it twice on a piece of paper to wipe off the excess dye

Use the remaining dye in Use circular motions to dye the leather

In this way, the depressed areas of the leaf veins are not exposed to the dye and are left blank, while the remaining areas are successfully dyed to form a pattern

This is the dyed effect

After the outer skin is successfully dyed, install the pre-made copper plate. The etching method of the brass plate is here I won’t introduce it anymore, see another post http://www.pixiaojiang.com/topic/show/644

Punch holes in the corresponding positions of the leather

Fasten with rivets

This is the effect of installing the bronze medal

Install the snap buckle at the designed position

The crust is ready

Let’s start the internal design and production. 1.0mm primary color vegetable tanned leather is selected internally. Cut out each part according to the design drawings

Before making, thin the parts that need to be thinned

Seal the areas that need edge sealing in advance

Then apply horn oil to each part

Finally, apply the anti-staining and fixing emulsion

Next, make the card slot part first, and add the upper part of each card slot first Modify the line

Then Glue or sew each piece in order

Second block

The third block

When making card slots, pay attention to leaving appropriate gaps between card slots to prevent space constraints when placing cards in the future

Finally, pre-sew the clipping part to the endothelium, and the clipping part is ready

To make the coin purse below, first cut it according to the design size Each piece of leather is cut and subjected to pre-treatment, edge sealing, horn oil, anti-dyeing, etc.

Sew the small leather strip to the leather

Then glue the insert on the coin purse cover

You cannot sew the leather on both sides of the coin purse first. In that case, you will end up with the coin purse and the inner leather. There will be problems with suturing

So first sew one end of the side skin

Then sew the main leather of the coin purse to the inner leather of the short clip, punch holes and sew according to the designed size and position

Then sew the other end of the side skin, so that the internal structure is completely completed

In this way, the outer skin and internal structure are completely completed. Just sew the corresponding positions together. Finally, the edges are sealed and the short clip is completed< p style="text-align: center;">

Tips for the finished product picture 10: Try to choose thick leaves with full leaves and clear texture. Leaves that are too tender will not work well!
