Diy Pen Wrap

[Prvt. Toter]

I needed a way to carry my writing instruments with some separation, I have been carrying everything in an old eyeglass case which lends to rubbing pen on pen... about a half hour and some decent upholstry leather and ths was the result.

Next one I will add a cloth liner to put a barrier between chrome tan and fine pens, and I thnk make the flap slightly longer to cover larger pens. Critque and ideas welcome.

An Excellent pen wrap!! Congrats!

 

Nice work with the leather....I don't have the material or skills.

 

I saw an ASTON PEN wrap for 5 pens for about $50. Yours looks similar, and you have the satisfaction of having created it yourself.

 

You ought to make a few of these and offer them to us!

Very cool. Does the strap tie to anything at the end?

working on another one, I have leather in the dark brown, a couple of tans and a lime green. I have been using ths one for a wee now and it works well, I would make the flap about a half inch longer next go around.

 

The strap simply wraps around and tucks to hold. I thought about a magnetic closure on the end or even an elastic wrap of sorts...

 

 

I will post pics of the next one... thining about gong a bit wilder on the color though...

That is amazing! Where did you get the leather?

[Prvt. Toter]

It is standard appholstry leather. I bought a remnant / quality reject from the company I work at, we do leather seating... a full hide off color relative to the standard... good for me. Got several other odds and ends with scars and tears that are plenty big enough to pull pieces togather for a pen wrap.. I also make holsters and sheaths with Veg Tanned hides as a sideline and have the sewing equipment sitting here...
