thanks for the help

I recently picked up four Indian Head nickles at an auction, got a good price for them. I was thinking about mounting them in a key fob blank. They measure about 7/8 of on inch in diameter. I was thinking of cutting a 3/4 inch hole in the center of two blanks. Then glue the two together with the nickle in the middle. Then stitch around it. I belong to a treasure hunting club and it would make a great gift or auction item. So my question is, what is the best way to cut the 3/4 inch hole? I've been searching on google, and there are plenty of cheap punch's. I do have a 5w laser engraver I could use. But I wanted to get your thoughts about this.

I picked up a box of leather shop aprons for about $25. It also had some regular leather and some hardware. It had about 8 soft leather aprons rolled up in the box. Doesn't look like they were used for metal work, maybe a high school shop or something like that. Most of them are a soft blue, green or tan color. I've been scratching my head trying to find a project that I can make with them. My first project was to make an apron for myself, with pockets. I'm open for ideas. I looked on Etsy for pattern ideas, but they are all firm leather projects, except maybe some toys.
