Turn a few scraps of leather and a zipper into the perfect accessory for a summer of love! Don’t let the idea of sewing leather scare you—even a beginner will fly through this simple project with ease.

Let’s get started!

Materials

• Pink & brown leather
• Pink thread
• Pink zipper
• Leather punch
• Scissors

Steps

1. Cut your leather pieces. The length of the top side should be the same as your zipper.
2. Before sewing the zipper, you need to glue it to the leather.
3. Glue the zipper to the back sides of both the top and bottom pieces of leather (as pictured above).
4. Cut a small heart shape using the pink leather. Punch a hole in the top of the heart.
5. Run  pink thread through the hole that you just made in the heart.
6. At this point, the glue should be dry. Sew the zipper first and then the sides.
7. Flip it inside out and attach the the heart to the zipper. Finished!

Happy crafting!
