Repurpose leather from a chair

[GrampsChair]

I was left my grandfathers leather recliner when he passed. The leather is worn and torn in spots. I was thinking about having it redone. I thought about using the original leather and making a keep sake of some kind for all the grand kids. I thought about covering a wooden coin that has the letter of his last name on it maybe. I am looking for some ideas on what I could make, fairly easy as i will need to make 20 or more of them, that all could carry around or keep in a safe place as a memory of him. The leather is thin, leather typical for a leather chair.  Any ideas?

Small draw string bags? I make those out of road side couch hides and sell them to the fantasy game folks for there dice and figures etc.

They could carry his memory on them....

Then make slip jackets for a small note book. I also use the couch hides for book covers and works great.

Hi,

The leather coin idea seems like a nice keepsake...look at this link and apply your mind.

Depending on your budget, I carry my own steak knife when I go out to eat. I hate a dull knife for a great steak. Anyway, there is a knife called the bone collector on e-bay I buy as gifts for family and close friends. It's hand made in America and around 12 bucks each. That in a nice sheath would be a life long keep sake.....

This is the one I use, but he has many styles.
