EDC Tweezer Slip

[Tugadude]

There have been a lot of threads where folks ask what to do with small scraps of leather.  Well, this is one way to use up small pieces that ordinarily would head to the bin.  

The size is 1/2" wide x 2 1/4" long.  Funny how it worked out that way because I didn't measure anything, just eyeballed it.  But it is close to exact.  Just some scrap from wallet projects.  It is chrome tanned, prefinished leather I sourced from Springfield Leather Co.  The thread is some fine 3 cord polyester, not certain what the size is, I bought it from Tandy years ago.  It is called Tejas.

Anyway, nothing special, but it is easily the smallest project I've made, save for a leather ring I fashioned once.  

 

These are the tweezers themselves.  They are made of titanium and even with the slip they are light as a feather.  They will go inside a wallet that I carry daily.  Tweezers come in handy all the time for splinters, wild hairs, etc.

Excellent

I made a small case like that for snips I carry. Which are  mostly used to cut open those sachets of sauce in carry-out food places

I need to make something similar for my compass and a few other sharp, pointy things, so the points don't get damaged!

I quite like it    I did start making simple comb cases a while back just two small pieces of scrap, but they didn't sell. Its hard to know who wants what some days.  Perhaps I'll try again but put a cheap comb inside.
