Members Svey302 Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 Good day, Relatively new to leather working. I saw this key chain that I like because it is made from one piece of leather (I think). I am trying to come up with a similar version on paper but I have a hard time coming up with the solution. Looking at the pictures, I think that the 2 main rectangular portions should be at some angle to one another (45-60 degrees). I must be missing something to come up with a working pattern. Any suggestion(s)? Tx Yves Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 New also but it looks to me like just one piece folded 2 ways. 2 circlesupers on the top and narrows dow. Ik that don't help you but just have to keep drawing till you get it. Look at Tboice wall he might have something similar he draws and posts a lot of patterns. Good luck I go through a LOT of paper.lol Quote

Members Roq Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 Your 2 pieces would look something like this Quote
Members Svey302 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 Roq, I am sorry, I must be thick (I am from Canada, so I can't even pretend I had to much to eat/drink yesterday). I have printed your suggestion, I am trying to fold the piece with the "antenna" but I don't get it. I still think it is made from one piece of leather. I have included a front and back pics. Quote
Members TonyRV2 Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 How much could one of these things cost? Buy one, take it apart, instant pattern. Just saying.

Members Svey302 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 You are 100% correct, they go for 20$ usd but they are sold out. That would have been my first intention. Quote

In the mean time, I am cutting individual pieces as I see them and I will assembled them with a hotglue gun, I should be able to figure it out before the new year. Quote
