This key case was made from Vegetable tanned cowhide and dyed in a yellow color. It took me about 5 days' part time to finish it.

Cut the Leather

I cut the paper for the shape at first, and then cut the same shape of leather, then cut the corners round. The color of leather is original now.

Add the Lining

This lining is made by cork, and the thick is about 0.5mm, cut the same shape of the biggest leather piece then glue on it.

I use alcohol dye on the leather. use a small sponge dyed 3 or 4 times. after one night drying, covered a tan coat.
