    Leather Key Chain title

     

    Hello Pretty Providence readers!! This is Shonee from Hawthorne and Main!! With fathers day just around the corner I decided to share with you a practical gift idea that dad is sure to love and use!!

    To be honest sometimes it's hard to find a gift for the guys in my life.  I want something that  they will use but that won't break the bank.  I can't buy him a new table saw every year... ya know... :)  This simple leather keychain fits both of those categories perfectly!!

    Here is what you will need:

    -1 Sheet of leather

    -Rivets

    -Rivet setter

    -Leather hole punch- (or see me method below)

    -Key Chain hardware

    -Hammer

    -Scissors

    Leather Key Chain 1

    To start, measure and cut your piece of leather to size.  I added a picture with a tape measure to see what size I used. - See image 1.

    To fold the key chain start by adding the D-ring on the square end of the piece of leather.  Fold the leather up and though the ring- See image 3.

    Next you will thread the clip onto the other end of the leather and fold it down. -See image 4.

    At this point you should have three pieces of leather in the middle of the key chain.  Use a leather hole punch to punch a hole though all three layers. My quick method, since I didn't have a leather punch was to hammer a nail into all three layers of the leather- See image 5.

    Once you have a hole through all of the layers follow the direction that came with the rivet setter by hammering and setting the rivet.

      How do the keys go on this? Am I missing something? That is never explained or illustrated. Thank you. Love the keyring!

        They can go on the swivel hook or you can use a smaller key ring to put them on the D ring!

      I love this idea. I can think of more than a few friends who love to get something handmade just for them.

      But for us mere mortals that have never worked with leather, where can I buy the leather, rivets and tools to work with leather? I can see that the execution is not the problem but getting the materials and equipment. So if you do know of a place where I can find them please do post that info too!!

      Thanks.
