Japanese short clip handmade leather goods making tutorial

Author: Zhen Zhong Original article https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/89769828 This short clip is a modified version of the classic Japanese Washimi short clip. The original 30% fold is changed to accordion pleats, Japanese handmade Leather goods are characterized by being thick and heavy. The thickness of the inner and outer leather is more than 2mm, and it has texture. But its not practical today. Its bulging in your pocket, as if you put a meat bun in it. This is also a wallet that I have been using myself.

So I changed the outer skin to 1.8mm, The inner skin is 1.0mm thick to ensure texture while reducing weight and overall thickness as much as possible.

The following is the production process of cutting materials

This part of making the card position is the most tedious and requires careful attention. The alignment of the edges of the card position must be perfect.

Before making the accordion fold in the middle, each piece is edge-sealed, dyed, and pressed. Decorative lines are essential.

To make the bag body, first install the four-button buckle, using Japanese THK brass four-button buckle

Customized words are embossed on the bag

Polish and make the bag cover

Combine the accordion fold part, the card position part and the bag body we made earlier.

Use flat-nose pliers when gluing Clamp it to increase the bonding strength.

When you finally sew to the bottom, the space becomes smaller and it is more difficult to use a straight needle. You can choose to use a curved needle.

Finally, attach the genuine coin buckle to the cover and call it a day.
