Key case without sewing

 縫わずにできるキーケース

Introduction.

Leather items to say "I'm home" and "Welcome home

This key case is made without sewing, using only leather and metal fittings. The combination of different colors of leather gives it a fashionable impression despite its simplicity. Because it is something that is often picked up, it is made in a rounded form that fits comfortably in the hand, which is also a nice point.

This recipe is also recommended for beginners who are making leather crafts for the first time, as there is no sewing involved and only metal fittings such as "caulking" and "gibbons" need to be attached. The shape of the lid can be arranged.

Because it is so simple, it is interesting to try your hand at creating something original.
