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

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

I did a search for Tboice but did not come up with anything. Can you make it a url link? I could browse his wall.

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.

How much could one of these things cost?   Buy one, take it apart, instant pattern.  Just saying.

You are 100% correct, they go for 20$ usd but they are sold out. That would have been my first intention.

Well Tony, if you do I will buy one from you!!!

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.
