Making a Leather Sunglasses Case (No Sew)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I’m making a sunglasses case out of leather and cardboard. It’s a “no sew” project but requires some precision work. The end result is a cool geometric and minimalist looking sunglasses case.
You can download free plans for this case from my website theminimalistmaker.com

MATERIALS:
Leather
Thick carboard
Contact cement
TOOLS:
Pen
Aluminum ruler
Carpet knife
Scissors
Rubber cloves
Something to spread the glue with (I used a piece of cardboard)
USEFUL TIPS:
Use good ventilation when glueing, contact cement can have a very strong smell.
SAFETY NOTES:
Safety first! Always be careful with dangerous tools and make sure you know how to use them correctly.

Brilliant. Very easy tutorial. Subbed, liked and rang the bell. I used 2 small flat nano magnets on each corner of the flap. Really strong grip when closing. I also used 4mm thick veg tanned leather and skived the back of the leather where it should fold, so I could omit the cardboard. My daughter has now claimed it for her Ray Ban Sunglasses so I have another case to make. Reckon I’ll personalise it with some leather stamping. Thank you for posting this. Hello from the Highlands of Scotland. Stay safe everyone...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well, that is fantastic! You didn't not disappoint. I really like the triangle design, and that was clever to use the thin fabric in order for the magnet to work better.

Thank you! I also love the geometric shape!
oh that's awesome! Just what I was looking for! Yours looks so clean! I'll probably make mine out of canvas and sew it instead of leather and glue. I super appreciate you making the plans available!! Thanks!!
Wow love it!
Wow, that's a very good tutorial! I'll try to make a case like this for glasses, thanks for sharing this idea!

So glad I found your channel. Really love this and thought your explanations and process was done excellently. Nice work. I posted a DIY Leather Sunglass Case Tutorial as well, mine includes how to draft the pattern so people can customize the shape. Would love to hear your comments.

Felicidades por tu vídeo, está genial, sólo que echo en falta la plantilla para hacerlo para mis gafas de sol. Aún así te mereces una mano arriba que ya te he dado.

So good! You should do a video on how to somehow get your logo permanently on the leather case.

You can also do a hard plastic cutout, and clamp the wet leather on it ans let it dry. It should leave an impression.

Very nice! I've been thinking about a similar design for a pencil case but with wooden ends, I'm sure with a metal punch of you're logo you could emboss it in too.

That pencil case sounds so cool! :D I tried punching in some letters but it didn't work. I think the leather is too soft or something.
Nice job 👍 and well performed 👌👏 How can I find this template?
Nice
It would pass for a professional product on Amazon. Well done
Neat idea and nice job of putting it all together. I guess other materials could be used for the lining? Maybe a suede type of leather or perhaps even a satin type of cloth? Thankyou for sharing.

Hi Do you have the printable template to make the sun glasses case it looks amazing thank you
Dang it. I so want to not like this work - as it has no stitches and no burnishing - but again - I can't. You earned a subscriber. Well done. I love the finish look.

I think if you used a metal roller in process it would give really good finish and glue can stick well to surfaces

Yeah, maybe, but this is such a small surface that I don't think it makes much of a difference in this project. Good tip though! :)

Hola!! Que debo hacer para obtener la moldura por favor
How do you keep the inside clean without wetting the cardboard ? I have a pair and I find after some time the inside can have some smell from the humidity
@TheMinimalistMaker
4 жыл бұрын
I haven't had this problem, so I don't know. The leather on the inside should protect the cardboard a bit from moisture.
You have a lot of time on your hands ... and you use it wisely 😁
How did u print this? If that make sense, like did you do A4 LETTER at 100% or just regular print
@TheMinimalistMaker

Depends where you live and what kind of paper your printer uses. I have both A4 and US letter sizes on my website. They should print correctly as long as you choose the right paper size for your printer. :)

For past experiences I will recommend you cut through the cardboard with multiple passes to avoid accidents :)
