Roughly cut the rounds, they will be cut more cleanly when assembling.
2. GLUE THE FLAP
Glue the flap to the rounded part of the main piece.
3. SEW THE KEY CASE
Create a seam all around the piece. Carefully follow the rounded line made with a silver pencil (flap).
4. CUT THE ROUND
Cut off the excess leather with a cutter following the rounded edge.
5. WORK THE SIDES OF THE CASE
Sand the edges of the case (always in the same direction) with an abrasive sponge.
Apply stain to the edges of the case. Then sand with the abrasive sponge and apply a second coat. If necessary, apply a third coat.
