Glue the Leather Pieces Together
Glue the card pockets with the main part together.
Optional: You can sand and burnish the round inner edges. Use tokonole leather finish and the wood slicker to burnishing them.
Tipp: To remove the excess glue use a plastic card or metal ruler.
Punching Holes and Sewing
- At first punch holes on the middle stiching marks of the card pockets and sew them on the main part. For sewing i use the saddle stitch technique WITHOUT a stitching pony. HERE you can learn from "Corter Leather" how to do that.
- Sand the outer sides.
- Adjust 0.3 mm on the wing divider and mark the stiching lines (You are new on leather craft? Just search on YouTube for "How to use wing divider").
- Punch the holes and sew the rest together. Finally snip and burn the sewing thread ends.
Finishing the Edges
- Cut a little bit leather off on the corners.
- Sand the outer sides.
- Use the edge beveler for taking off the sharp edges.
- Burnish the edges. Use tokonole leather finish and the wood slicker to burnishing the edges. You can use water as well. You can find HERE a very useful tutorial from "Corter Leather".
The Finished Product
We are done! I would be glad to see your leather sd card holdes / nintendo switch card holders :)
