Make a Leather Lighter Case (With Pattern!)

► TOOLS AND MATERIALS: www.buckleguy.com/corter-leat...
► PATTERN: corterleather.com/collections...
A few years back we did a video making one of our leather lighter cases as one of our first videos. We decided to revisit that project, this time walking you through how to make your own in a step-by step tutorial! These leather cases are great for around the shop, they're also great to sell at craft fairs and markets or wherever you might sling your goods. With a very simple pattern, all you need is a split ring to complete your own leather lighter case!

So I figured...I’ll buy the pattern, it’s only a buck! I did, works great. I’m sewing up one the next morning and my wife walks in and says you can’t use the Credit Card for a few days, we got compromised, I asked how? She said somebody put $1.00 on the card, probably phishing us so I called, cancelled the cards and they are sending new ones in 4 days. Ah honey...I put 1 dollar on the card...

😂😂😂 that was a wholesome story

I did it from the last video, and it's still in use.

[@jerrywalker6687]

I have just started getting into DIY leather projects, inspired by you! You do an amazing job talking through the work. You make it look way easier than it is! I will be printing off a pattern as soon as I get home! Can't beat the price!

[@pixelsamuraigaming5544]

So far every technique and skill I have used I learned from you 😎

[@cbeyond1393]

Love the signature rings

[@Godsil147]

[@danielcuellar2955]

This is super cool i made a case for my lighter a couple months ago but yours looks much better.

[@andreatthatsme]

About time "E". I've been asking you for a long time for this pattern. Thank you 😊

[@toughharley1903]

I bought the pattern and I'm glad you have a video with your patterns especially for beginners. Thank you

[@divalea]

I was about to search to see if you did a vid on the lighter case, and it was the next vid after your stitching without a pony vid! I bought the pattern.

[@kog1609]

I just finished this as my first project. I probably didn't spend as much time on basic skills as you suggested in you getting started vid but it still turned out okay. Too excited to get to a project lol. I have been so inspired your videos. Thank you so much. I have so much to work on with neatness and edge finishing but I am on my way thanks to you! The patterns on your website are so helpful.

Just what I was wanting to look up and it shows up

[@andyshields5935]

Always enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work.

[@michael3573]

It’s about 10:45pm. I’m making one out of moose hide because my veg tan is too heavy at 10oz and my skiving knife hasn’t arrived. We’ll see how it comes out. Great video and project.

[@westboundpony]

The new hardware is awesome!

[@katcankan7129]

Simple but effective & beautiful... Have a nice weekend Corter 😊

[@benfan7434]

really awesome design!

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Very cool. And I like you split rings.

[@stephenbutler9432]

Just made two, one Natural and one dark brown from a failed piece of leather for a larger project. It is simple, I like it.

[@sufferedlearnedchanged]

Just downloaded the pattern! I cannot wait to make these. 😁 Thank you guys for all the quality patterns and videos. They are so helpful!

[@escapetherace1943]

you paid real life money for a pattern that is a square. 🤣I made one just like this and I did it in 10 minutes sitting in front of some bare leather man.....

[@Him__3000]

@@escapetherace1943haha, I almost agreed until I realized the time spent to get all the measurements right and design the thing is more costly than $1.00. Is

[@One_for_the_Books]

I'd love to see you make a belt with a zippo lighter pocket. Love your vids keep up the great work

[@fireemtguy]

When will the signature rings be available ?

[@ianthomas3653]

So weird, I made a lighter cover while watching the pin cushion episode.

[@jerthemaker]

Where did you get the split-rings made? They are gorgeous!

[@alperenkuru8831]

I have a question - when you are sanding down an edge, do you go from low grit to a finer grit? Or do you just use a fine grit/low grit?

[@jonahlevy7963]

Where did you get your gold Xacto knife. It looks much thicker than mine.

[@D4VIDF]

GIB bottle hooks and split rings plz k thnx!

[@jarrettdittmer9367]

And at that point, should you use a sealant on the leather or is that not needed? Could you use a dye and then a sealant too after the wet molding and drying etc.

[@tokong46]

Mantap Lanjutkan, semoga sukses selalu

[@leviadams6131]

Where did you get the split rings made?

[@tim0339]

Do you have any tips for adding the ring on the bottom instead

[@MorrMedia1]

What kind of glue is needed to withstand the wet moulding?

[@zechmalone8591]

Made a very, very rough case from a couple of old Gucci wallet pockets. Hoping to run across some more salvageable designer to make on of these.

[@JamesTheAxeThrower]

I wish you’d make it in a way that the lighter could still stand upright in the case instead of on its side

[@brentbondura7339]

looks great! What exacto knife is that?

[@bobbobbing]

I know he's said he uses a #2 blade, but as far as the specific handle idk

[@westleycary5557]

That looks so much thinner than 3-4oz. What cut is the leather? It's like card stock. I can't figure out where this tour of leather comes from! Please help me understand🤞

[@bahjinelson3986]

What is the needle and thread size you're using?

[@barbararodgz4932]

Hi i have a question: Do you sale dose scraps of leather that you have? If you do I'm interested.

[@terrybarr8648]

I bought the pattern and was wondering how much do you change for one of these?

[@jenniferwhite6089]

mine i make and 1/2 of 1/2 circle were the middle fold sits gives a unique look in the case itself yea did lower the seam down to stop the problem with the lighter to yea if you have a lot of lighter are 1/2 full i just glue scape piece of leather on the light and sell it yea they never know any different lol keeps me in business lol

[@sammalvs]

For some reason youtube unsubscribed me from you :( Anyways I'm back now! Great work and thanks for the upload!

[@ApesOnDaLooze]

What is the style of stitching called?

[@Goodyboy999]

Is this saddle stitching?

[@lennyboy57]

What oz is the leather? I made one from your template but think my leather was a little to thin

[@Ranburu]

Why you paywalled all free patterns? And how I can get them if I don't have any present pay methods?

[@rachelgrasmick223]

When I burnish the edge before sewing, it looks like the glue comes out and gets tacky. What am I doing wrong?

[@mohddanial7181]

Dont use too much oil. Same problem with me when i use neatfoot oil.

[@mattsmith1737]

I emailed you on your website. My card was charged for the $1.00 via PayPal and I haven’t received the pattern email yet. This was yesterday morning.

[@dylangriffiths590]

Do you have any updates on your tools??🤷‍♂️

[@Corter]

[@dylangriffiths590]

@@Corter thanks for replying and I cannot wait to try and get my hands on a few.

@@Corter Is that hammer you have a shoe hammer? Is it custom made?

[@brandontemple5849]

If the seam is in the can’t you just flip the lighter around???

[@woutertron]

The top is asymmetrical if you look closely, so nope!

[@jasonpowell3587]

Wow. Video just dropped and the split rings are already sold out on your web site? Good for business bad for those that didn’t get any.

[@Corter]
