If you are unsure about it, you can choose not to cut it open but then you will have to take the AirPod case to charge it. This one goes over patterns, punching the holes on the leather and stitching the pieces together Intermediate Leatherworking Class. I took both classes and they are very helpful. I highly recommend it. Mark the leather using the template and the hand awl. Using the box cutter, cut the leather to size. Optional, you can trace the line around the main leather piece to give it a more detailed look.
Using the hole stitching punch and the hammer, create the necessary holes for the stitching. Use the mark line as a reference for the holes.
Install the snaps with the hammer and the setter base. First, stitch the small rectangles to the section in the middle of the main body of the cover. It will be easier to stitch the next part this way. Continue stitching the other two segments. First, mark and punch the holes. Insert the carabiner in the leather and fold the leather around it.
Stitch the leather from the center to the edge. Using the double-sided tape attach the leather to the main body of the case. Insert some piece of wood on the case before punching the holes on to the case to prevent damaging the front side.

Take the stylus and trace the pattern, don't use too much pressure, you just have to see the lines, nothing more. When you use a weight to keep everything in place, you can lift the corner of the pattern to see if you traced every line.
The depth of the cuts should be about half the thickness of the leather. The technique is shown in the video, tilt the knife somewhat back, so you will cut with the point of the blade. When making corners try not to tilt the knife to the right or left, because this will cause the knife to " undercut" the leather, these cuts which are not "vertical" will show up later after beveling and become visible, which is something you do not want.
If you are new to carving with a swivel knife, it might be a good idea to practice on some scrap pieces of leather. When finished it is time to stamp the design You should start beveling all the cut lines on the "outside" of the pattern. The stamps used for beveling are the B and B The B is used in tight corners, the B on the longer lines. Always try to use the biggest stamp possible , because this will give the smoothest beveled lines.
Each imprint of the stamp should be overlapped with at least half of the next imprint, working like this will give you smooth beveled lines. Don't hold the stamp to tight, hold it loosely and let it "bounce back" a little bit after each blow of the mallet. Try to " walk" the stamp. This will give the best results. After cutting, bevel the border on the inside with beveler B After all the beveling is finished you should take the modeling spoon and carefully "backbevel" the design.
With this I mean round off any sharp edges in the pattern. The photo shows which areas should be backgrounded , the photo is taken after painting, but this shows best which area's should be stamped to the background. These are the little area's triangles and rectangles etc within the design, these areas can be backgrounded with the A and M, or if you like a finer pattern the A The outside of the pattern can be backgrounded with the M In tight spaces tilt the tool so you don't damage your dragon.
Be careful, a mistake is easily made with the big M The outside should not be stamped as deep as the little inside background areas. Resisting is done with a product on a acrylic base. This acrylic will seal the leather, to make it more or less waterproof.
Another reason for resisting is to put a top layer of acrylic on the leather in which the antique gel next step will not penetrate. It is a personal choice if you want your holster glossy or semi matt. My personal favorite is matt. The products to use are satin shene matt or super shene glossy. Another difference between these 2 products is that super shene resists a little better than satin shene.
When you use the gloss finish the overall result will give a little lighter overall color. Refine search Leather bag pattern. Leather wallet pattern. Leather gadget pattern.
