Step 3: Cut the Leather

• Place the downloaded pattern onto the leather.
• Use a sharp knife and a metal ruler to carefully cut out the leather pieces according to the pattern.
• Ensure clean and straight cuts for a professional finish.

Step 4: Prepare the Edges

• Use the lighter to slightly melt the edges of the leather pieces. This helps to prevent fraying.
• Smooth the edges with sandpaper for a neat appearance.

Step 5: Assemble the Pencil Case

• Apply leather glue to the edges where pieces will be joined.
• Align the pieces carefully and press them together firmly.
• Allow the glue to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 6: Punch Holes for Stitching

• Use the punch to create evenly spaced holes along the edges of the pencil case where you will stitch.
• Ensure the holes are aligned and evenly spaced for a neat finish.

Step 7: Stitch the Pencil Case

• Thread your needle with the chosen thread.
• Start stitching from one end, following the punched holes.
• Use a simple running stitch or backstitch for durability.
• Tie off the thread securely at the end of your stitching.

Step 8: Final Touches

• Inspect the pencil case for any rough edges or glue residue and clean them up.
• Optionally, you can add a button or snap closure for added functionality.
