1. Welcome to the class: Hello and welcome to this class, where you will
learn how to reuse the other parts from
previous projects and transform them into a beautiful and simple handmade card sleep. This project, I'll
show you how to onstage handmade
saddle stitching, preparing the leather
for new projects, and constructing those
lead from start to finish. Because we'll be reusing
some other parts. It is inferred but not
necessary that you will have some previous knowledge from another handling you haven't worked with before. Don't worry. I'll guide you
through every step so you can see how to prepare the leather pieces and create this simple yet
elegant leathers. Leave without any further
ado. Let's get started.
2. Recycling the leather: For this project, I want to
show you how you can recite the linear basis that
you might have at hand from previous
unfinished projects. It might be the case that
project got canceled has a flaw or you simply
want to change a bart. In this case, I've decided
to change the exterior, another part of this
passport holder to another type of
brown leather I've got. But this one, as you can see, is an excellent conditions. The other piece is already
lined with black pig skin, so I won't go through the
process of lining the nether in this class since
it's a recycled part. But if you wish to
see more about it, I've got several other classes were this topic is covered. To separate the P's we
want from the rest of the smaller pieces we
need to stitch the edges, will do this with his crotch
0 and a pair of scissors, any type of scissors will do. Try to find a weaker
stitch in the assembly. In this case, this is
where the leather pieces or join with the larger
one on the edge. So at this stage, on that side and try to loosen the stage with your stretch all by carefully introducing it between the
threads and the leather. Then tried to cut
the threads from the other side to the wallet
to lose both threads. This Holder was cell stage, the cells touching you one of the strongest and most
durable stitches there is. So stitching any cells
which project will take more time than usual since
you have to do this manually, begin removing the threads
would just crush all. Tried to do this facing the tip of the old outwards, the nether. So you don't have the nice
surface or the major area. When you feel your throat
is getting too long, you can always cut the
excess and check how your project isn't stitching
on the other side as well. Continue to do this
until the business completely separate from
the rest of the project. As you can see, the major
pieces now separate. You can proceed to store any other pieces left
for future projects. When doing this, we want to
recover as much as possible. So we would cut the
edge of another piece. It should be very close
to the stitching holes. I have this link card holder for reference as a guide for
though they mentioned just to make sure that
width and length of the cardholder can be
covered with a brown piece. And in fact, this large
piece is enough to make two power holders,
but just enough. So we've got the
leather will have to be very careful to ensure
we save this area before measuring where
the mark the points. So for cutting, make sure the
edge you're working with is straight from the edge. Mark two points are
the same side at a distance just enough
to cut the leather. Stitching calls are present. Please, your ruler connecting
both points and with your exact a knife cut
the excess of leather. If you happen to how small marks from the stitching holes, don't worry too much. This will disappear once you apply some edge
paint to the BSW.
3. Cutting the leather: Now that you have removed the stitching holes
from the piece, you've decided to reuse. It's time to set
the right measures of the letter B's
for your project. As we've discussed previously, there will only be room
for two slim card holders. If this is the case
with you as well, I suggest you first got the total length of the holders
to make sure both pieces, specially the same
ones finished and then separate both parts
from the main piece. Gives you how our reference
product and hand. You can use it to guide
yourself and its measurements. With your ruler, measure the total length you
want your holders to be and would just crush all or
leather pen markup points over the desired measurement. I suggest you do
this on the side of the letter n naught in
the middle of the piece. Repeat this process on the
other side of the letter. This way you will have two
reference points were to code your leather piece with the ruler and executor knife got the letter to
a smaller length. Once you've got the
length of your pieces, you can now divide
the entire layer, but the amount of parts you
wish for every card holder. When you're finished,
we can now proceed to prepare the parts
in the next lesson.
4. Preparing the piece: Now that we hover
pieces Chorale, let's prepare them to transform
them into cardholders. The first thing to do is to make any cuts or details within
the main surface of the letters since it will
be very difficult to do one stitched and not harm
the rest of the world. I'll use a two
centimeter punch hole to make a hole in the middle. So when the user wants
to take out some cars, he can easily do so by simply pushing them
with his fingers. If you also wish to do this with the help of a leather
pen and your ruler mark two points on the
sides of the letter that divide the length
of the piece in half. Then when you really are
connecting both parks, pass a straight line
with your leather pen. Mark a point in the
middle of that line. That is a center
of our cardholder. Next market, total length of the whole bunch or halfway through each side of the center, you just marked horizontally and vertically as you
see in the video. The whole bunch should then be placed within the four points. You just mark. Pleasure leather over your poly blog Burma and
with a punch hole in place, Here's your polymer to
make the center hold. When you're done.
The next step is to bring in making
the stitching holes. We'll start with the
ones that should go on the sides of
the card holder. Bend your wallet as if it
was in its final position and mark where the last
digit on one side. Then measure the
distance from that point to the upper side of the
holder and do the same for the other side so
that both marks are the same level in the
surface of the cardholder. I'll be using another
edge crease to mark the distance between the edge of the letter and stitching holes. But you can use
any tool you wish, such as a willing divider or a marking a straight line
with your leather pen. Once you're done marking
both sides with the holder, place your leather
over your mat and your diamond chisels mark with your start punching
the stitching holes. As you can see, I place a CISO one space
inwards the leather to have a nice position from the upper side and
the first digit. Then with your chisel in place, Here's your polymer
to punch the holes. Make sure the hose goes through the entire piece and continue your way until you reach the mark you've just made
with your leather pen. Repeat the process
for the other side of the letter and make sure both sides have their
last pigeon holes where the line between them. You can check this by counting
the amount of holes there are on one side and then counting the holes
from the other side. Now, repeat this process with the upper part
of the cardholder. Begin with the sides where
you've just made the whole, since you have a
good reference of the first hole from both sides. Mark the line where
the hole will go with the aggressor and then proceed to make the holes
of the upper part. The first and last halls
will be the same as a first holes you made on
each side of the upper part. Finally, on what will be the
back part of the holder? Mark and punch this teaching
holes that will be on the upper side by first identifying where the first
and thus hold will go. Do this by marking
the letter with your edge crease
or just enough to know where the mark lines will intersect as you
see in the video. Then proceed to make the stitching holes with
a chisel and poly mallet. The piece is now ready
for the next steps. In the next lesson,
we'll prepare the opposite sides
of the card holder.
5. Painting the upper sides: Once we've got the
piece cotton ready, the first thing
to do is to paint the sides and the whole we've
just made in the middle. You can use your
preferred type of leather edge paint for this job. In this case, I'll be using a hearable edge paint from
a brand called Bernice. This pain has a matte finish and looks really nice
with brown leather. To begin with, check
your paintball well, and then with your
edge applicator, carefully pass some paint over the first upper side until the edge is completely
covered in paint. Wait a few minutes
until the paint dries and continue your way
through the center hole. I'll be using that
different paint applicator that fits constantly
through this hole. Again, leave the paint is
dry and when it's ready, then the last edge of corresponds to the upper
side of the card holder. When you're finished
the PACF for some 20 minutes before applying
the second coat of paint. When you're sure the
paint is completely dry, repeat the entire process again. In the three sections, you'll notice how the
painting is looking way better now with the
second code than before. Since the first gold help cover any exposed fibers on the edge. The second call, take
more time to dry. So it tried to leave you with the sides in a vertical
position and wait for around 20 minutes
before you can continue moving forward
with your design.
6. Stitching the upper sides: Once the edges of the
upper size or dry, you can seal them and give some Polish where it wouldn't
etch burnisher, also called a slicker. Because we don't want the
edges to be extremely shiny. We'll just pass a sleeker
a few times where the painted surfaces of the upper sides in
the middle circle, just to see the
paint wants dried. You can feel the
results by looking at the edges in when
you're happy with it, yourself, with your thread
and needles and bee's wax. You can use any thread you want. In this case, I'll be
using a brown liner thread because they want the thread to match the color with this leaf. To know how much regulate. Use your ruler to measure
the length that you're going to stitch and multiply
the length by four. That will be the length
you need for Situ. However, I always like to leave an extra 30 centimeters
to make sure I've got enough thread to
handle it comfortable, if you're obese, works through the entire thread, if you're using line and threat, this Phred usually
comes very loose and with little or
no bees wax on it. Wants to make sure
your thread is more manageable with a beeswax. And ensure that the statues, or if you're blood type with the wax when you pass them through. Make sure the edges have enough wax to be able
to flag the thread. As you'll see in the video. You can flatten the edges with anything really,
even your nails. In this case, I'll
use the tip of the wooden sleepers
to flattening. Then insert the threat to
the whole of the needle and tried to stitch the thread
with a tip of the needle. You can flip them apart with the needle will be
certainly the threat. So it's see-through
for you to insert. Once you've inserted
the tip of the thread, begin pulling it backwards
through the metal as well as through the hole as
you've seen in the video. And then simply just
pulled apart of the thread that was inserted
all the way backwards. So it fixes itself with the rest of it and
locks it in place. Repeat this process with the other needle on the
other side with a threat. When you're ready, it's time to start stitching
the upper side. Begin in the first
hole of the sideway, inserting one needle and
pulling both needles with one hand to make sure the thread measures the same in both sides. Then insert the
first needle through the next hole and with a needle and certainly
in the leather, pull it out of the grabbing
it with a second needle so you have some
support while doing so. Make sure you don't
stitch thread while passing the needle
through the holes. If you happen to
do this on stage, the needle moving it backwards and throughout this digit again, you'll have your first
stitch done in no time. Follow the same method to stitch the entire
side of the sleep. When you're done doing so
and urease last stitch, go back one entire
stitch and then POSIX thread that is in front of
this leaf to the backside, that is not noticed. It's finished. When both the rest
are on the backside, you can cut them and repeat the process with the
other side of this leaf.
7. Stitching the card holder: To prepare this leaf
for stitching it, the first thing we
need to do is to fix the size we're going
to stitch together. For that, we'll use a small
amount of leather blue on one of the edges and leave the edge press until
the glue is dry. And we can make this teaching pulls on the backside
of the sleep. With your finger. Pass some blue over the inner side
of the sleeve, as you can see in the video, and then join both
sides together. You can use some office
paperclips to hold bold letters together
while the glue dries up. I found this clamps to
be very effective on large sites such as belts,
wallets, and handbags. Once the glue is dry it off in around ten minutes
approximately, you can punch the stream
holes from the back of his sleep using your
diamond CISO and polymath, just as you did on
the front side. This time however, those first holes you previously
are going to be the guide for where
you have to place your chisel and start
punching holes. Since the first halls have already been functioned stitch. You'll need to start from
the second hold onwards. Remember that little
only holds the leather just enough while the
stitching takes place. Since this leaf is bent over, there is a lot of
tension trying to unfolded and the glue is
holding those pieces together. Barney won't make it forever. Only continue to punch
the holes and stitch the edge when you are ready
with your tools on hand. In case of the stitching, just as you did with
the upper sides, measure the length of this leaf inside and multiply
that measurement by four to know the amount of threat that you will
need to join this leaf. Then at 30 centimeters to the entire length
and proceed to wax the thread and attach
the needles in place so that you can begin
the stitching process. When you have both sides of the thread with the
same measurement, you're ready to begin
stitching this leaf. We'll start with this top edge. I cross stitching the
first stage of this leaf. You'll need to pass
the needle from one side to the other, from the top of this leaf
on one side and do the same with the other needle
from the other side, as you can see in the video. Then pull both threads to
make sure that first stage as well tightened and proceed
this stage, the entire edge. When you're finished
with the first edge, do the same for the
second edge and your sleeve will be ready
for the next process, which is painting the edges. During this process, you can hold both letters together with one club you wish
to let us leave does not come loose
when moving forward.
8. Painting and finishing the sleeve: To paint the edges of your
car holder is very simple. Since you've already
know how the process is done from painting the
upper parts of the slave. However, because
this time we had to join both sides together, this makes the leather to become thicker and details
on the joining, such as glue, are
going to be visible. Before painting the edges. It's convenient to
send them first using a small piece of
220 grids on paper. You don't have to send
them very strong, only enough to
take any excess of fibers and glue away
from the edges. With your edge paint applicator begins apply paint
on whilst the edge she slowly and
carefully so that you don't drip any
excess of the sites. You can check if there's any
paint excess while you're moving forward and take
it out with your fingers. When you are ready
with one side, repeat the process on the
other side of this leaf. Leave this leaf to rest on surface that won't
touch the edges. This paint I'm using
take some time to dry. When enough time has passed. You can repeat the
painting process and other time for both edges. You'll notice how
the second coat of paint is going
to look more even. That's because you're now painting on top of the edge code and no fibers are around to absorb the paint on
the leather piece. It's always convenient to pass at least a second code to any
leather as you're painting. When the pieces dry, the
only thing left to do is to clean any possible excess of glue that is left inside sleep. You can do this with
a plastic bone folder by just inserting the folder in the sleeve and gently rubbing the edges to remove
any unwanted material. At this point, you have
finished your sleeve. You can try this live by
inserting some cards. Your filters leave a little
tough at first, but in time, the leather will break and we'll make your sleep more
comfortable to wear.
9. Final project: Now that you've seen
how these cards leave was made its thing
for you to make your graph sum all the other
projects you won't use anymore and prepare them to
make your own card holder. You can also do it from scratch as a new product view wish. When you're finished,
don't forget to share your products so their
students can see it as well. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you have
enjoyed the class and I'll see you
in the next one.
