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.

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.
