Tassel charm |
May. 14/2023 I fell in love with PORCO ROSSO leather products and purchased a card case and an L-shaped zipper wallet. At that shop, she saw for the first time a tassel charm that she attaches to the zipper pull hole of her wallet, and she thought she could make it herself, so she made two types. |
 |
 |
|
1.The material is 1.5mm thick leather. The width of the tuft was 3 mm, and the width of the part that became the string was 6 mm. |
2.Although the order has been reversed, the fluff on the back side is treated with Tokonol. |
|
 |
 |
|
3.Preparation before folding by applying Bond G17. |
4.Fold tightly and temporarily glue. |
|
 |
 |
|
5.I decided to fix it with 6mm diameter x 7L brass double-sided caulking. |
6.Make a 2.5mm hole with a punch. When I typed it in at once, it shifted a little. |
|
 |
 |
|
7.Place it on the caulking table and caulk it with a hammer. |
8.Use a simple ring to connect the zipper pull hole and the charm. I made the ring myself by bending a 2mm brass wire. First, wrap it around a 10mm round bar. |
|
 |
 |
|
9.Cut with nippers and sanding. |
10.A ring connects the zipper pull of the wallet and the tassel charm. |

It became a fashionable wallet with a charm. |

12.I was worried that the color of the charm was different from that of the wallet, so I bought the same color TOCHIGI leather offcuts from Rakuten. |
13.Now use the divider and mark the leather firmly. |
|
 |
 |
|
14.Cut with a leather knife. |
15.Last time, when I layered the leather and punched it, it was misaligned, so this time punched it with the leather unfolded. |
|
 |
 |
|
16.The rings also used brass wire. |
17.I made two this time. |

The charm is the same color as the wallet, making it inconspicuous and giving it a clean impression. |
