Everyone is a master and a creator.The energy splashing in us requires a way out. Sometimes it finds its application in the creation and creation of hand-made articles. A paper wallet with their own hands, handicrafts from newspapers, bags, alterations of men's shirts and jeans. Remaking old furniture and furniture from cardboard, flavors from dough and oils and remelting old candles, paintings of nails and scotch, flowers from beads and satin ribbons, the use of empty plastic bottles and bobbins from scotch - the imagination of people has no limit. This master class will tell you how to make a wallet of leather with your own hands.
As a starting material for craftsused old leather cowboy boots. You can use any other leather material. Or even its substitute. It is completely unprincipled what material is used in the manufacture of the craft: the main thing is that it is heavy-duty. A purse with your own hands is always original and stylish. Who said that you must necessarily spend crazy money for the purchase of a designer's creation? You can make an amazing wallet with your own hands.
1. As mentioned above - an old leather cowboy boot.
2. Waxed thread.
3. Seam ripper.
4. Silo.
5. Ruler.
6. Scissors.
7. Needles.
8. Miniature cutter.
9. Manual sewing machine. By the way, in this master class this tool was not needed: they used a regular needle.
Let's get started. Cut off the upper part of the boot and remove from it plaque, salts and other substances.
The best way to clean the used material is a dishwashing liquid.
After that, we dry on the fresh air during the day.
With the help of a ripper, we remove from the top of the stripe.
Then we cut the boot over the seam and remove the seams and threads.
As a result, we get the next piece for the craft.
Using a ruler and a miniature cutter, we cut off the most homogeneous part of the material (without transitions and inserts).
From the second piece of material, we cut out two identical blanks for the inner part of the craft.
Three leather pieces with the same patterns will be combined into a wonderful purse. With your hands from this material, you can sew not only a wallet, but also a cover for documents.
Next, using an awl and a ruler along the perimetera large piece and on three sides of small pieces we make holes at a distance of 5 mm from each other. On smaller workpieces, two smaller sides and one larger one should be punched.
This will look like our pieces before the last stage:
In order to make a purse with your own hands from these pieces, you can use a hand sewing machine or a thread with two needles. In the master class, the second option was used.
In order to create a harmonious and beautiful seam, in one hole are two needles: first a needle on the right side, then on the left side.
This is the last stage. Nothing complicated, but in the end you get a stylish wallet in the South American style.
From each seemingly unnecessary thing, you can make a really interesting and creative product. Look carefully, maybe in what you are going to throw out, it makes sense to breathe a second life?
