THE NECESSARY MATERIALS
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
- 1 piece of CLASSIC vegetable tanned leather measuring 20 x 30 cm
- 2 nickel-plated T3 screw collar buttons
- 1 jar of gum tragacanth for edge finishing
- 1 bag chain of 10 cm or more depending on your wishes
- 1 oval rotating carabiner for 15 mm lanyard
- 1 collar button with ring 8 mm
- 1 tube of special leather contact glue
And the following material:
- A round punch cutter Ø 3mm
- A mallet
- A silver pencil
- A cutter
- A ruler or a rule
- A rag
- Olive oil and a brush
- Shoe polish, grease or oil to nourish the leather
- Optional: Alphabet letter and number stamps - 0.32 cm

1. TINTING THE LEATHER
Using a wide brush, stain the leather with olive oil. Apply at least two coats to the grain (right side) of the leather, trying to apply the same amount of oil everywhere and always going in the same direction.
Let the oil soak into the leather for at least a day, if possible in front of a window. 
2. CUT OUT THE PATTERN
Download the pattern from our website. Print it out in actual size, then cut it out, remembering to make the holes using the 3 mm punch.
Transfer the pattern onto the leather crust (the reverse side) using the silver pencil. 
3. CUT THE LEATHER
Cut the leather with a cutter following the pattern. 
4. MAKE THE HOLES
Make the 7 holes indicated on the pattern using the 3 mm punch and a mallet.
Make the two 3 mm incisions indicated on the pattern for the passage of the collar button heads. 
5. WORK THE SLICES
Lightly sand the slices with sandpaper. Then, apply tragacanth gum.
Apply a thin layer of the product to the edges of the leather. Wait a few moments for the product to absorb, then rub the edge briskly with a cloth. 

6. OPTION: CUSTOMIZE THE CASE
Optional : Personalize the cable pouch with an inscription using alphabet stamps. To do this, lightly dampen the leather with a sponge, then stamp the alphabet stamps onto the leather.
You can use a stamp guide to ensure your lettering is straight. To learn more, here's a video tutorial on how to use a stamp guide and alphabet stamps:

7. APPLY THE WAX

Add a dot of glue to each screw thread to reinforce the tightening. 
9. ASSEMBLE THE BAG CHAIN
Using 2 pliers, open the links at each end of the bag chain and enclose one part on the collar button ring and the other on the end of the carabiner. 
10. SCREW THE COLLAR BUTTON
Finally, screw the collar button with ring onto the case.
