Leather Scrap Project - Easy Key Fob
I have similar keys in my keyring. Most of is used rarely. Always thinking which key is the right one...so i decided to make own key fobs for these keys. Here is one version...recycled leather of course.
Tools
- Ruler
- Knife
- hole punch
- eyelet setting tool
- pliers
Materials
- Leather
- eyelet
- corner protectors
Cut and Set Corner Protectors
Take a ruler and knife. Decide shape and dimension before you cut. I set my ruler on the leather and made cuts both side of the ruler. After that i straighten both ends.
Set corner protectors and pinch with pliers.
Punch Hole and Set Eyelet
First measure diameter of the eyelet and choose hole punch after that. Eyelet in the picture is 8 mm and hole is 8 mm so eyelet fits tight. For permanent installation you have to you eyelet setting tool
Last but not least step is keyring and the key.
