Leather Wrapped 3-in-1 Charging Station ___________ I have this 3 in 1 charging station that works great but in my opinion is ugly, so of course, I thought I’d wrap it in leather. I started by removing the front plastic piece so that I could wet form the leather around it. Then I soaked some leather and then put it and the piece of plastic in a vacuum seal bag. As I pumped out the air, the leather formed around the plastic and once dry, it took the shape of the plastic perfectly. For the charging to work, I removed the center of the plastic cover so it only had to go through the thin leather. Then I glued the plastic piece to the formed leather and trimmed off the excess. Next, I moved onto the earbuds section of the charger. I made a card stock template and then scored that onto some leather. I also marked out the section where the ear buds are to be placed. To give it an even cleaner look I decided to wrap a strip of leather around the front & side edge. And to make it all one piece, I stitched the top section and the strip together using the corset stitch. Then I glued that in place before popping the wet formed section back in place. And just like that I had an upgraded leather wrapped 3 in 1 charging station. Let me know if you think this was an improvement in the comments and as always, thanks for watching! ___________ #chargingstation #customleather #leathergoods
