Leather cases are the most fashionable for phones, but very few people know how to make leather covers with their own hands.

My old friend, knowing my penchant for differenthandicraft bites, expressed a desire to receive from me as a gift a case-bag for a new phone. She received a phone at work, which she always needs to have with her, so she needs a bag so she can hang the phone on her chest. What it will be like and what it will be made of all this depends on my choice. I received only specific dimensions of the phone - 13 cm high and 8 cm wide. I started thinking. Leather! Only leather.Having looked over my “hamster supplies”, Isettled on a leather glove, lonely hiding in the closet. Good brown leather is what you need. And besides, the dimensions correspond to the application 13 cm height and 9 cm width of the phone. DSCN7287 1. But before you start working with the glove, you need to clean the leather. You need to prepare a soap solution and add a teaspoon of ammonia to 1 glass of water. Wipe the leather of the glove with this solution and a sponge. Do not get carried away with the process. Do not soak the leather through and through. Then wipe with a sponge soaked in clean water. And now wipe dry with a cloth. It is strictly forbidden to dry on a radiator! The leather can shrink and nothing good will come of it. But we want to make a useful and necessary thing. 2) Let's prepare everything you need for work. Glove. There were still some remnants of black leather. Lace. Leather glue. I used Chemopren glue. Before you start working, carefully read the instructions. As a rule, such glue should be applied to both parts of the parts to be glued. Let the glue dry for 10-15 minutes and only then connect both parts. We will also need beads, patterns for flower petals. A candle, with which we will process the flower petals. 3) Cut off the fingers of the glove. Do not forget to measure the distance to the fingers. It is important that it corresponds to the length of the phone 4) The finger lining can be thrown away.And we use the skin from the fingers to make a flower. We cut the skin of the fingers along one of the seams. It needs to be, as it were, opened up so that we can cut out petals from it.5) From the largest pieces of leather, we will begin to cut out the largest petals according to the pattern. There should be 7 of them. Don't be confused by the presence of seams. They will not spoil the appearance of the flower.6) Cut out 7 medium petals. And the smallest 7 petals will be cut out from the remains of black leather. Here are all the petals for the flower cut out and a circle with a diameter of 5 cm for the base of the flower.7) We will process it over a candle flameflower blanks. Be careful! Do not bring the skin very close to the fire. Only process the petals with warm air. Hold the back side of the skin to the fire. The petals will begin to bend their edges inward.8)Here are the flower petals with scorched edges. Even the stitching threads are melted and will not unravel.9) Now you need to fold each petal in half and make a fold at the bottom. One stitch is enough and be sure to secure the thread. This way we will give the petals more volume. 10) Let's start collecting the flower.On the circle base at a distance of 1 cm from the edge, apply a strip of glue in a circle. Put the petals on the glue. Turn the fold on the petals in one direction. Each next petal should cover the previous one with its edge. All petals should look in one direction. 11) We begin to glue the petals of the second row.Apply glue in a circle at the base of the first petals. Place the petals not exactly on the lower ones, but between the petals of the lower row. All the petals should look in the same direction. 12) Let's start gluing the top rowpetals. Apply glue to the base of the middle petals. Place the petals next to each other. They should all face the same direction. Cover the edge of the previous petal with one edge of the petal. The top petals are made from the inside of black leather, suede side up. This is what the flower looks like 13) Let's start making a phone case.First of all, you need to sew up the hole that you have after cutting off the thumb on the leather and on the lining. We do this by hand. And we sew up the lower hole together with the lining on the machine. 14) Turn the cover right side out and place the flower in the center where the seam from the sewn thumb is. Sew the flower to the base of the circle by hand. Sew to the leather together with the lining. 15) Sew a guide cord inside, with which it will be easy to get the phone out. Sew it manually to the entrance of the case from the front side inside the product. 16) The lace goes through the bottom of the product to the backside and through the hole, comes out on the front leather side. Sew Velcro on the end of the lace. Hand sew two straps under which the lace moves freely. This will hold the lace so that it is exactly in the center17) All that remains is to sew the cord on which the cover is attachedwe will hang it on the neck. Determine the length of the cord yourself at your discretion. Sew the cord by hand on the sides of the cover. Do not forget to put a piece of fabric or leather on the inside to ensure a secure fastening 18) All that's left is to sew the beads into the center of the flower and the bottom of the Velcro. Sew by hand, piercing the lining. I hope your friend will be pleased with the gift. Sincerely, Nadezhda Peterkova.
