Custom Leather Wet Formed X-Acto Case ___________ Everyone knows I love my leather wrapped X-Actos, so I decided to make a custom leather case for one as the final component of my Maker Swap for @themakercamp coming up in a few weeks. I started by using a vacuum seal bag to wet form some leather around the X-Acto. As I pump the air out, you can see how the leather forms around the knife. And once dry, the leather has perfectly taken the form of the X-acto. The case will have three layers, two of which will have the center cut out. The top layer will create a little overhang, which will create a slot for the lid to slip into. With all three layers glued together, I scored a stitch line and punched the stitching holes. Before stitching it together, I added some leather dye. Then I stitched it up. Finally, to make it easier to slide the lid in and out, I added tabs at each end. And just like that I had a custom wet formed leather case for my signature leather wrapped X-Acto. I hope you enjoyed this project and as always, thanks for watching! ___________ #leathercase #xacto #leathergoods
