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.

    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!!

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

    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

    I haven't had this problem, so I don't know. The leather on the inside should protect the cardboard a bit from moisture.

    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. :)
