The highest standard
These elegant cases are made from a small flap of genuine leather. Using the stamping kit (Leder Baumann) you can make any inscription or monogram on them.
Patterns are given above.
You will need:Hard skin flap: for a mobile phone case - approx. 15 x 20 cm, for credit card case - approx. 15 x 15 cm; letter embossing kit (Leder Baumann); sponge; shockproof substrate; hammer; sewing threads; silk paper.
Description of work:
Pattern A for the case of a mobile phone or pattern B for the case for credit cards should be re-printed onto silk paper, transferred twice with a ballpoint pen to the wrong side of the skin and cut out. Moisten one of the parts (front) and place it face up on the substrate. Place the necessary letters on the front part, stick the adhesive tape along the lower edges of the letters and mark the middle line of each letter on it. Letters are sequentially applied to the skin and embossed with a pin using two blows of the hammer (having previously tried on an unnecessary flap of skin). Leave the item overnight to dry. Then fold both parts together on the wrong side and grind side sections and lower sections to the edge.
