Make a Leather Keyring or Key Strap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In this video I show you how to make a simple leather keyring. I show the different ways to cut out the leather shapes and how to make more money when selling keyrings. I talk about embossing patterns onto leather and how to fit simple hardware, such as key rings and snap fasteners. I then go on to talk about the value of personalising keyrings to make even more money when selling them.

Hello Daneen. Welcome. I hope you continue to watch.
Hi I'm mike. From Cambridgeshire . I make different types of key rings . I'm looking to do leather key rings so I will be following you every step of the way .Looking forward to seeing more of your UA-cam videos thanks 👍
Sounds great!
Tanks!! 🙏🏻
Thank you too
Hope your keeping well. Thank you for this video.
Thank you! You too!
Great video for us beginners thanks x glad you are doing well during this time and could I please ask what type of leather you are using for these ( proper beginner! ) they look like a good first project for me to try. X
I use 3 to 4mm veg tan leather for my key rings.
Would it be difficult to create bracelets with the snap? Would a cutting die be needed? From across the pond...love your videos and I am a total novice... thank you.
Love your vids . Stay safe lad x
Thank you for your comment. I'm just clearing out my inbox of old comments, so there is no need to reply to this. Thanks. Geordie.
Excellent
s Cormack Thanks

Did you design those dies to be made? Or were those just ordered from somewhere?
What weight leather do you recommend for the key fobs?
Hello! I have just found you and have subscribed. Excellent video's and you have inspired me to have a go at making some embossed ( just watched your Embossing Leather video ) key rings. I have used the links for the keyring cutting dies etc, but can you please tell me what sort of fastenings you use, and what size and where I can buy them. Thank you so much. Stay safe!
Hi. Thank you for your kind words. The snap fasteners I use for key rings are 12.5mm size. They are widely available from Amazon and eBay sellers.
@@HobbyBloxs Hello again Geordie. Thank you very much for your quick reply. I did not explain very well sorry, I had the link in Amazon for the Snap fasteners, I meant the actual pieces that you attach the keys too they look similar to parrot clasps in Jewellery . so the bit you actually attach the keys too and on the other end where you attach it to either your belts or bags. sorry i'm not sure what they are called. Thank you again. :)
Love your videos! Inspired me to buy a few bits and pieces to get started. I just wanted to ask the thickness of the leather you use for this keyring?
Hi. I used 2mm (4-5oz) leather in the video but any leather that is thin enough to bend should work fine.
I've been enjoying your tutorials, not many uk based leather work videos. Can I ask where you purchase leather from please? Thank you
P.s. the sound seems to disappear in the video after a couple of minutes
Hi thanks for your comment. I use Leprevo Leather for my leather supplies. I’ve checked the video sound and don’t detect any issues. May have been a glitch with UA-cam.
Yes it seems to be fine now sorry my mistake. Thanks for responding, I am subscribed and look forward to more videos 👍
Just getting into leatherwork. I love it!! Just came across your amazing channel. Thankyou 🙂 you explain things so well. One quick question that I hope you can help with? I have an Ivan strap cutter. I have some Italian butt leather that I am trying to cut into straps, but the strap cutter is moving from what i have set the measurement to, as I pull the blade towards me 😖😖 Is this a faulty strap cutter? Is there a way round this? I know this isnt the right video for this, but I thought you may know the answer.
Take care,
Miriam
Hello. This is a common problem with strap cutters. You need to tighten the thumb turn knob with a pair of pliers to get it to stay put when cutting straps. I hope this helps.
@@HobbyBloxs Thankyou!
Hi, I want to apologize in advance for what may be a lengthy comment, but it's to express why you've become essential. I've been machining for over 28 yrs and have my own home machine shop. From time to time I get commissioned projects, though I'm not financially reliant on commissioned pieces, it does help if and when I'm in a pinch. Since the covid-19 hit, all of my commissions have quickly dried up, understandably so, but I had nothing to do. My wife being an essential employee for Department of corrections administrations, in my state, she's the only one of both of us working. One can only do so much home projects from the "Honey do" list. In looking up how tooth picks are made, here on UA-cam, (don't laugh, I had nothing to do), I some how ran into leather crafts videos. I binge watched: Low Tide leather, Little King Goods then DieselPunk.ro, which Tony, from the latter channel, had free patterns for leather stitching, I had scrap leather and made a few of his face masks and a few miniature plague doctor's key FOB's. Getting my beak wet in the most basic of leather crafts via stitching, first. Then I saw video's on holsters for Leatherman Multi-tools and thought I'd tried my hand at that. Geordie. Something went amok. Everything went horribly wrong. I'll admit, I didn't have the correct leather tools, so I did what Little King Goods channel suggested, by a cheap leather crafters tool set, from amazon. Soon as it came in. Geordie. it still went horribly wrong. AGAIN! then i ran into your channel and followed all of your videos, specially burnishing leather. That's where It went all wrong, for me. When i tell you my edges looked like a persian kitten got into a fight with a steel wool pad, and the steel wool pad was winning, I'm underselling it. I also found that I wanted to improve on the tools that were in the kit I bought. I was thoroughly impressed with what was supplied, but most of the tools could've used some improvements. So I improved on them. I will share videos with all of you, of my tool builds for the leather crafts, along with leather projects I've made, just as soon as I learn to edit videos. Ya' know Geordie, I still don't know how toothpicks are made. Again, I apologize for the lengthy comment. Stay safe, friend. And Thank you for the educational videos you share, you do us amateurs a great service, believe me.
Wow! I can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for sharing Eddie. I appreciate it.
I can't see the paper template for the leather keyring to download from the website. I have registered/subscribed but can't see it. Can you provide a link as it seems an ideal first time project with little outlay. Thanks.
Hi. Sorry...Yes we have been closed due to the virus for the last few months, so I never got around to uploading that template. I will see if I can do that in the next few days. Take care.
@@HobbyBloxs Thank you.
