D I Y / Leather - See Through Envelope
Foldable document map/ travel bag/ clutch/ whatever you want to call it or use it for, I bases this design on an envelope and used my two favorite materials to make it; clear plastic and white leather. During my last trip to Stockholm I used it to keep my important documents safe, and it was a joy to get it out of my bag every time!
-leather
-4 button studs
-clear plastic
-sewing machine/needle thread
Nº1
Fold the envelope open and trace it on the leather. Also trace the little flap one more time and cut both out.
Nº2
Make two holes in the small piece of leather and screw on the button studs. Sew this piece with the attached button studs onto an edge of the clear plastic. You can use any type of good quality thread and a special needle for leather. Make sure the stitches aren't too close together though, as this could cause the plastic to rip.
Nº3
Attach the second pair of button studs to the bottom of the main large piece of leather. They should be exactly as far apart as the ones on the little flap.
Nº4
Stitch the plastic with the leather flap onto the main piece of leather, making sure the flap aligns at the top. When you're all done, cut off excess plastic around the edges. Finally, make two small incisions at the top of the main piece of leather for the button studs.

this is pure genius ! you are a master of DIYs, I love it! Not sure if I would be able to do it by myself, but maybe with a little help of someone with a sewing machine :) I love the studs-buttons ! they would be perfect for other DIYs, I hope I could find them somewhere in my town or online! xx

Such a great idea, you always have the best diy's! :D
I love your DIY's, even when they are not perfect. If people were doing more of this, they would have more personalities. In a world where everything is prêt-à-porter, you are just a prêt-à-rever.
Gaaf idee!
Amazing! Must try it out :-)

Awesome DIY, Ivania!
I love the simple combination of the clear plastic and white leather. The envelope shape is really structured and cool while the materials give everything a really nice clean feeling.
If I could, I would definitely want to make something this cool! My only concern would be storing important documents in there. If people see your passport/money/ID/anything important through the clear plastic, wouldn't they be more inclined to steal your clutch?
Other than that, I absolutely love the envelope!
Hope you're having a lovely day <3

Super leuk idee!
neem ook eens een kijkje op onze website!
How much does this cost to make?
Approx?
depends on the leather, which is the most expensive, sometimes you can buy small scraps like these for a really low price
I think total about 35 euro
This is breath-takingly amazing !
Hoi Ivania!
Super leuke DIY weer, ik doe zelf een modeopleiding en ben nu bezig met een collectie waar ik graag plastic voor wil gebruiken die jij gebruikt in je DIY's, zou je mij kunnen vertellen waar jij je doorzichtige plastic vandaan haald?
Groetjes, Claudia!
Wow heel erg gaaf gedaan,
ik ga dit denk ik wel uitproberen hoor!
♥
you are way too good at diy. amazing!
