MAKE AN ANTHROPOLOGIE LEATHER JOURNAL

5D3_3233

Supplies needed -

  • Leather remnant

  • Rotary cutter or scissors

  • Leather punch (or a needle will also work)

  • Thin colored cordUntitled-110


Instructions -

1. Cut a piece of leather 19 inches long and 9 inches wide.

2. Flip the leather so the rough outside is showing. Fold one end of the leather up, keeping enough length at the top for the flap.

3. Take 10 sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper, stack them together and fold in half. Stick them into the pocket of the leather.

4. With a pen, make a small dot on the paper and the leather where they meet about 2 inches from each edge. Make a hole through the paper with the needle. Make a row of 5 dots on the leather and poke through them with the leather punch or a needle.

5. Thread the needle with a piece of cord and stitch the paper to leather so that the cord shows on the outside. Knot in the middle and cut any excess.

6. Repeat with 4 additional sections of paper.

7. Find the middle of the flap and cut a diagonal piece on each side so the end comes to a point.

8. Fold the flap down and cut two small holes on either side of the flap to hold the pencil.
