Leather Phone Neck Pouch

Hi, guys! I've made a simple pouch this time. The pattern was made for iPhone 7, so you need to change the pattern if you're making one for a cell phone of different size. Hope this instruction will help to make your own phone pouch!

• Leather : Buttero (col.bordeaux) 4oz
• Hole punch : 20mm / 2.5mm / 1mm diameter
• Rivet (6mm in diameter) X8
• Sandpaper 400 grit
• Edge beveler size #1
• Awl
• Wood slicker
• Tokonole (Burnishing Gum)
• Mallet
• Ruler
• Punching plate
• Snap button setter (Small metal plate)
• Snap button 10mm

There is a video as well and please check if you want to watch. Thank you!

Measure your phone and draw the shape roughly.

Please download and print out the pattern that I uploaded here. The pattern is 2 pages in total. (The PDF included a A4 and US letter size) IMPORTANT : Please set your printer 100% actual size option. Then, cut out the pattern with some margin.

I made the pattern through the doodle, It's made for iPhone 7 size so if you need other size, please redraw the pattern or just print out bigger or smaller.

Before cutting the leather, mark a dot on center of the circle with an awl first.

After marking, cut the leather according to the pattern. You can see the marked dots in the picture.

With sandpaper (I recommend 400grit or 600grit), smooth the edges.

Bevel every edge with a beveler. I used size #1.

Apply finishing gum(Tokonole) and burnish the edges with a wood slicker.

According to the dots, punch them with 2.5mm hole punch. But for the card section we need to use 1mm hole punch. You can use 2.5mm punch here as well, but it's gonna look too big.

Make a slit connecting the holes.

I used a 10mm snap button. Set them with the setter.

We need 8 sets of rivet. I used the one 6mm in diameter and 7mm in height.

For the neck strap, I used 3mm diameter the leather cord. It's roughly 55cm long, but you can adjust the length to your liking. Tie them, and we're all done!

Thank you for watching my short instruction, I hope you get your own nice and simple phone pouch. See you next time then, Bye guys!
