DIY | Leather Envelope
It has become almost obvious nowadays to make an object that is usually disposable, durable by just changing the material. Maison Martin Margiela has a wallet that looks just like an envelope made out of fine, thin leather, then there are the leather paper bag look alikes and porcelaine cups that deceive you into thinking they are plastic disposable ones. Because it is so obvious and almost has become unoriginal I decided not to spent too much time on this little DIY. Here are the instructions:
Cut a square out of a piece of (left over) leather. For the standard format of an envelope, like mine, use a square of 21cm x 21cm. Cut it with a surgeon knife or stanley knife. On the lines where you would normally fold the paper make a shallow incision, not going all the way through the leather. Glue it together with super glue and add a snap fastener to close it. There is no sewing involved, I used glue throughout so that there would be no seems visible, feeling lazy is not an excuse to not make this!

love this! lip colour is amazing too
I've really wanted to try this DIY for a while... it's so simple but it looks so chic. I actually tried it recently and made my own! My glue-gun exploded so I ended up sewing mine instead and then I added some leather cording so I could tie my envelope shut, but you were my inspiration! Here is my creation, thanks to you! http://holdmyumbrellabitch.blogspot.ca/2012/05/diy-leather-envelope-clutch.html
I may just have to do this for my own Gift Card envelopes.
