DIY wallet repair

A large amount of money put inside.

If you feel sorry for an old wallet, all the locks are intact, only the appearance is worn out, there are many ways to restore it. And not only that, you can create a real masterpiece with your own hands.

For me, a good option is embroidery: beads, cross-stitches or ribbons, now this is relevant, and I really love to embroider.

You can decorate your wallet with rhinestones, lace, decoupage.

If there are no suitable decorations at home, you can buy them in any online store, for example, on Aliexpress for a penny.

It all depends on your imagination. I bought a used wallet from my grandmother on the street, you know, there are such “flea wounds” where you can buy old things, pretty decent, at a fairly low price. I liked that it was made to look like crocodile skin, although in some places there were slight abrasions, and so - quite a decent, fairly roomy wallet. I thought for a very long time how to restore it. Then I took a regular nail polish of a suitable color and painted it again, and then walked over with a colorless varnish on top. Dried up - it turned out like new.

Wallets made of softer leather or material can be embroidered with beads. If the wallet is large, you can sew or glue the applique. So everything is in your hands.

Wallet transformation. Master Class.

This is the kind of beauty you can make from your old leather wallet. Since I have experience working with this material, I boldly get down to business !! And for one thing, I will show you and tell you, maybe it will come in handy in creativity))

This is our “patient”. The petty yellowness began to appear from the clasp!)
1. Degrease the surface with alcohol

2. We prime with white acrylic paint, but it is also possible with acrylic primer. Let it dry well.

3. Apply a second layer of paint of a different shade, ivory (if suddenly yellowness appears, it will not be so noticeable)

4. Then we select a suitable motive, cut it out. We glue, covering the entire surface of the product with textile glue-varnish. Let it dry completely.

Then you can iron it with an iron, through tracing paper, or cover it with a second layer of glue-varnish.
I do this in order to increase the durability of the product, as well as wallets, business card holders, etc. very susceptible to mechanical friction, temperature extremes, moisture.

5. Finishing coating with glassy varnish in two layers.
After each varnishing, the product must be dried well.
Glassy varnish gives a good elastic film, and does not crack at the folds when using the product!

7. Well, here are our "patients" after treatment)))

I wish you all creative enthusiasm and inspiration.

Autumn is coming and you should think about insulating your apartment. An excellent solution for this would be to buy pvc windows, as they are of high quality, have a modern design and a flexible pricing policy.

So, the second, final part of making a wallet. The next step is to glue the inner and outer parts.

Glued, tapped with a hammer, rounded the ends and already marked the holes for the future seam with such fork punch. It turned out a little crooked, I will try to fix it when grinding the ends.

We are stitching. The most painstaking and monotonous process. Without a special device for securing the workpiece, called a saddler or something similar, this activity can take a couple of days.

After 2 hours of sewing, you get such a beauty. But it's still damp. It's time to process the ends of the product.

I take my faithful friend an engraver and grind the ends, level the glued layers.

This yellow substance is CMC wallpaper glue (carboxymethyl cellulose). Its analogue is SMS powder for skin. In general, the same thing. Leaves skin edges smooth to a glassy state if tried. We put it on the ends, and rub it with a special nozzle on the engraver.

It turns out something like this.

Well, and have not yet treated it with a waterproof finish and shine - we moisten the corner with water.

We put the embossing. It's too early to fork out for the press, so we use a modest clamp.

It turns out here is such a stamp.

This is how it looks after processing, filled with cards. There are 6 compartments. Four outside

This is how the wallet turned out, it was made in about 1 day. In some places it is crooked, but this is of course a matter of experience. Thank you all for your attention. If you are interested, I will post my products further.

and I will support). Run and refer to VK)

I understand that minimalism in a purse and wallets is not in vogue now:

On sale mainly come across with a bunch of buttons and zippers.

write, we will agree)

Sew sleeves to pants.

Please tell me a good online store with devices for this craft =)

I am located in Moscow, there are several places where you can buy. I take on Cherkizovskaya in the shopping center Gorod Hobby. There is also a Speranza store on Alekseevskaya and a Golden Calf in Sokolniki, but in the first place there are a lot of rolls on the racks and no one is going to advise a newcomer, owners of ateliers and shoe repair booths are most often purchased there. In the second, they sell only whole skins of such a size that you can hide with them)

Where can I get the instrument? punches there, special knives?

looking for tools, I always dropped by catarino and groomix. Naturally, all stores are purchased in the USA, Japan and China. Most groomix products can be found on aliexpress, but they will take a long time to arrive. And in this store they can also advise. At the first purchase at self-pickup, the seller asked me if I ordered too small punches. You can also look at the guns forum, where in the topics people post goods that are quite good for the price.

If you need quite a bit, I advise you to dash around the shoe shops, where you can negotiate for a reasonable price.

In this master class I would like to tell and show how to make a wallet from genuine leather.

- cardboard (to create patterns);

- finishing agent (I use the finish of the tires from fibings);

- Concho button (diameter 30 mm);

- waxed thread (I use 1mm Dafna thread).

- a handle with a roller for coloring the edges of the leather;

We take the cardboard, glue it with paper (mm) and then cut it out to size. I did this ... figured out what would be where I would have and then sketched out sketches on cardboard something like how it would turn out like this.

We need pieces of leather of the following sizes:

Left side of the wallet: 20x9.5cm (1 piece) 20x6cm (3 pieces).

Right side of wallet: 20x19cm (1 piece) 20x6cm (1 piece)

then we take and cut out a template on cardboard: something like waves and cut 3 parts 20x6 cm according to the template.Thus, we get these waves, but we cut them out like this: we cut out one part so that the cardboard (template) was the front part towards you, and we cut out the other two parts with an inverted template - the wrong side towards you.

You should have something like this:

Then we cut it out like this:

When you cut it off, it should look like this:

We do the above with one more workpiece measuring 20x6 cm:

We take a piece measuring 20x9.5 cm and put 3 pockets on it, so that everything fits and there are no mistakes.

Then we follow, as shown in the photo below:

tap on the glued surface with a rubber mallet.

Then we take a groove cutter and cut a groove, as shown in the photo below:

We punch with a line punch (I use a diamond-shaped punch with a 4 mm pitch in this wallet).

Next, we take the thread and needles and sew the whole thing with a saddle stitch.

For the convenience of sewing, I use a homemade saddlery:

After the firmware it looks like this:

Next, we also glue and sew the second pocket,

and also glue 3 pockets.

We mark the middle of the wallet section, punch it with a punch, and then flash it.

Then we take the main part of the wallet 23x20 cm and glue the left compartment of the wallet, on this, we can say, our left part of the wallet is ready.

Now we need two pieces from the right side of the wallet.

Next, I took a piece of cardboard and cut out a template for the zipper hole.

And then we cut out the hole for the zipper according to the template:

We take a compass and mark the seam (I made an indent 3 mm wide).

We punch with a punch, and then we stitch it.

Next, we take a piece of 20x6 cm and cut it according to the template.

Next, we glue, make markings for the seam, punch with a punch and stitch, as shown in the photo:

Then we glue the compartment. Our right side of the wallet is ready.

Now let's start creating the clasp strap. You can draw any fastener you like on cardboard and cut it out. I chose this option for myself:

Next, we apply the markings using a compass, and punch it with a punch.

We paint the end of the fastener with paint for a cut, I apply the paint in several layers with a rollerball (I let the helmet dry for 2 hours between the layers).

Now we need to sew the clasp to the base of the strap. I attached the clasp to the wallet, looked at how it would look better, and then I glued it and stitched it).

Take our finished right side and glue it to the main body of the wallet.

Now we need a coin.I use a denomination of 10 rubles, apply it to the corners and cut it with a clerical knife around the circumference of the coin.

We apply the markings with a compass, and punch through.

We sew, apply paint to the end. We punch a hole with a slave for installing the Concho button.

As a result, we got such a wonderful wallet 🙂

P. S. I also put an engraving on my wallet. Here's what happened.

If you have any questions, write - in a personal or in this topic, I will help in any way I can 🙂

In this master class I would like to tell and show you how to make an ordinary wallet from genuine leather.

For work we need:

- a handle with a roller for coloring the edges of the leather;

- we also need waxed threads and needles for leather with a blunt end.

I made the patterns from ordinary cardboard pasted over with a sheet of notebook paper in a cage, then cut out all the parts from leather.

Then we look at how it will be glued together, and then sewn on.

Next, we begin to glue the pockets for the left side of the wallet, apply glue (I use 88 glue), then glue and tap the glued edges with a rubber mallet.

Next, we take a compass and mark on the skin where we will have pockets for credit cards and so on (in this wallet I made two compartments for cards and one for identification). Then we punch with a line punch along the marking of the hole for the seam.

Then we sew with a saddle stitch, I use 1mm Dafna waxed thread.

For the convenience of sewing and the quality of the seam, I use such a homemade saddle maker.

When everything is stitched, we take this part of the wallet and glue it (on the left) to the main part of the wallet, then we tap everything with a hammer.

Next, we take a coin (in my case, it is ten rubles) and apply it to the edge, and then use a clerical knife to round the edge.

You should get something like this

We take a compass and mark it under the seam (in this purse I retreated from the edge of 3 mm), after marking we punch it with a punch (I used a diamond-shaped punch with a 4 mm step).

The left side of the wallet is ready.

Next, we proceed to the right side, take two compartments and, for the convenience of removing bills, we cut it out like this.

We take one compartment and glue it to the main part (the distance between the right and left parts is 3 cm).

Next, we take the remaining two parts and glue them together, then mark with a compass under the seam for the cards.

Then, with the help of a cutter along the skin (groove cut), we pass along the markings from the compass with a cutter, and we get such a groove for deepening the seam (this is done so that in the future the seam does not protrude onto the front of the skin).

We glue the right main part of the wallet and the right section, as shown in the photo.

We tap the edges with a hammer, you should get it like this.

We apply the markings with a compass exactly in the middle, then punch with a punch and sew the whole thing.

From the inside, we apply glue along the edges, as in the photo.

Then we bend and glue the whole thing, then we tap it with a hammer. You should get it like this

Then we take a coin and carefully cut the corners.

We mark with a compass under the seam (we retreat 3 mm from the edge), and then punch it with a punch.

Then along all the edges of the purse, I go through the sandpaper with a zero grade and apply paint to trim the leather with a pen with a roller for painting the edges.

Well, in principle, our wallet is ready. On the wallet, I still apply a finishing agent (to protect it from moisture).

Friends, I apologize in advance for the tautology, I just expressed myself in my own words, so to speak. This is my first master class. If you have any questions, ask, I will be glad to answer and help.

Made a passport cover, from the same napkin as the book, but on a different background :) Ttu passport cover without varnish

And then two more, as a gift to my brother's mother and wife 🙂

Here you can see that there are yellow stains on the blue background, it was I who did not cover the cover with acrylic varnish, but immediately sprinkled with a car aerosol, and the spots started :)

Then I just stuck a napkin on the cover pre-painted with white acrylic, slightly finished painting the grass and ladybirds and tinted the edges with a sponge.

And then, I made a craquelure on PVA, stuck two parts of the napkin, drew roses and burgundy edges, circled the leaves and the decoration on the corners with a gold outline 🙂 I tinted the edges of the cover with burgundy and gold

My brother's wife asked me to update her old-old wallet. Having previously agreed that if the experiment on reincarnation fails, she will gladly buy herself a new wallet, I set to work. This is how he was - green, with pimples and “mimic” wrinkles :)))

And so it became :))
I primed the wallet with white paint, stuck on a napkin chosen by the owner of the wallet, and using the sponge method applied paint around the perimeter, toning the edges :)

I drank for a long time, applying successively 5 tones of paint

And here is a photo with 3 layers of varnish. The first is acrylic from an art store, and the next two are aerosol acrylic for car furniture, etc. :)))

And then it came to this little chair, which I don’t remember how many years old. The glorious chair, albeit of advanced age, survived participation in noble battles, that is, repairs

Here is such a shabby friend, upholstered with dermantine 🙂 I untwisted him, tore off the skin from him, which was not only nailed in with carnations, but also glued. And the glue remained on the boards. The sandpaper was that glue could not be peeled off, and at this hour of my torment I came up with this method: I turned on the gas stove and heated the surface of the board with glue over an open flame. The glue began to melt and was peeled off quite easily with a quick, quick movement of the knife. The main thing in this business is not to burn the experimental board :)))
After that, I sanded all parts of the chair. including rusty iron base. Plastered the boards, then covered them with white acrylic paint. The iron base was degreased and covered with silver acrylic paint.

Here he is, my beautiful friend :))) From this side, it turned out to stick napkins without folds, but with small holes, which had to be closed with butterflies to match. I pre-laminated the butterflies (cut out the butterflies, put them on a file, covered them with PVA glue, after drying - covered them with acrylic varnish, after it dried out - painted them with white acrylic paint. with PVA glue and stuck on a chair, where cute butterflies covered the holes in the napkins :))

And this is my friend from the pin :))) Butterflies, maybe not quite out of place, but they have not so much a decorative and artistic mission as they are designed to close the terrible folds and holes. This napkin turned out to be very capricious. Yes, yes, these are not my hands, these are napkin paper. I have tried all the options for dealing with wrinkles. And she treated the napkin with varnish, then wetted it on a file and applied it, and tried to stick it with an iron on the previously applied and dried PVA and even glue it with an iron using cling film. It was all in vain. The napkin stretched incredibly and literally torn from my breath :))) Therefore, on the back I left the option with wrinkles, and on the front side of the chair the tenth napkin went to meet me and stuck pretty smoothly :)))

Once again, my friend is in the interior :)) For now - without varnish, we will take a little rest from each other and I will varnish it so that it shines :)))

Here, dolls are still not sewn, so I am engaged in converting the old into the new :)))

A leather wallet is not a superfluous attribute that creates style. This accessory must be of high quality, durable and convenient. Making a leather wallet with your own hands is not an easy task. This will require good starting materials and a steady hand. Not many people succeed in doing a neat thing the first time, so before trying ideas from these master classes, practice on leatherette. You need to learn how to make even seams and carefully mount the fittings. Having mastered these skills, you can make original handmade wallets for yourself and as a gift to your friends.

To work with leather, you need furrier tools:

Important! In some models, do-it-yourself leather wallets are created on the basis of a pattern that does not need to be sewn. The parts are glued together and sewn with a decorative stitch.

The best is veal, goat (chevro), and the least suitable is pork. She gets wet quickly and is not too pretty. The skin is also divided into:

• smooth;
• polished;
• embossed;
• suede;
• varnish;
• nappa;
• skin of reptiles and exotic animals.

Based on one pattern, using different leather, an experienced craftsman can make completely different wallets.

Important! Thin leather should be used only with lining materials - cardboard and non-woven fabric.

There are some tricks to making wallets. This material is different from fabric and requires a completely different approach. The most important thing in the work is the exact pattern, which is made from thick cardboard or wood.

Important! Thin paper patterns will wrinkle and you will not be able to cut an even piece.

1. We lay out a piece of leather on a hard and even surface - linoleum, a special mat.
2. Transfer the template to the front side of the material.
3. We mark the places for the seams.
4. We make holes for the stitching.
5. Then the product is collected and the edges are tinted.

This is the basic procedure for working with a wallet pattern. If you immediately sew the pieces, without pre-made holes, the product will come out crooked.

Important! Parts are also sewn on a sewing machine. But a straight line is easy to do by hand. For this, a special method is used - working with two needles. The first goes from the bottom, the second from the top. The threads are threaded through the same hole.

Let's see how to sew a leather wallet for a women's handbag:

• First, let's choose a material. It should be light, 1-1.5 mm thick, for lining - 0.8 mm. The colors are chosen according to taste, the leather of exotic animals and suede looks good.
• As a rule, the pattern of the wallet is chosen first, and then the leather is selected for it.
• The wallet should have three compartments - for cards, coins and bills.

Important! Manual work implies taking into account the needs of the owner of the thing, so you can make additional pockets for business cards and a phone, a zippered section.

This roomy wallet has compartments for coins, banknotes, business cards, credit cards, a pocket for notes and a compartment for a smartphone.

1. We mark out a rectangle measuring 20 * 27.5 cm, divide it into 3 parts with a width of 8.5, 9.5 and 9.5 cm
2. We prepare 2 cardboard inserts measuring 8.5 * 19 cm and one 7.5 * 19 cm. We seal them with padding polyester.
3. We glue cardboard with padding polyester and leather, bending the edge by 5 mm.
4. At a distance of 2 cm from the edge, we make two slots and fix the button magnet.
5. Let's get down to the lining. For this we use the suede side of the leather. We cut out the part and fasten it with threads with a seam over the edge.
6. We glue the lining to the cardboard.
7. We make an inner pocket. To do this, we cut out a partition from cardboard 19 * 8.5 cm in size, and from leather 20 * 17 cm with an allowance of 5 mm from each edge.
8. Fold the leather in half and fit the cardboard piece.
9. We make a front valve measuring 20 * 9.5 cm, seal it with cardboard with padding polyester.
10. Mount the second half of the magnet at a distance of 1 cm from the edge.
11. We make pockets for business cards from 5 pieces of leather measuring 7 * 8 cm. We lay them one on top of the other, glue them, sew along the edge.
12. Then we sew them to the top flap of the wallet.
13. It remains to make the wedges and collect the wallet. Cut out 4 rectangles, 3 * 8.5 cm.
14. We sew them to the inner pockets and the cover.
15. Make a fold at the bottom of the part and, tucking it in, sew the bottom of the wedges to the cover.

Important! You can replace natural leather with artificial. It is not as durable, but easier to work with.

Did you know that you can still make original leather jewelry with your own hands - the instructions are already ready for you!

You can sew a small women's leather wallet using a simple pattern consisting of three parts: a large pocket, a compartment for change and a lid.

Of the tools you will need:

1. Transfer the pattern to your skin.
2. Mark the seams with a stamp.
3. Mark a fold on the large oval part, sew on the flap.
4. Sew pockets, fit eyelets.
5. Assemble your wallet.

Important! Suede, nubuck, dense fabric are suitable for this pattern. You can also use other ideas from the article "How to sew a fabric bag with your own hands?".

This simple women's wallet with your own hands from leather is sewn according to a pattern of 4 rectangular pieces and 2 strings. The tools are used as in previous workshops, but to round the edges you need a curly ruler and a zipper for the pocket.

1. We transfer the template, outline the contour with an awl.
2. Cut out, make a rectangular hole in a large part.
3. Round off the corners on the workpieces.
4. We sew a snake into the cut out window.
5. We glue a large part and pockets.
6. We lay decorative seams along the edge of the purse and strings.
7. We glue the department for business cards.
8. We sew it along the edge and middle, forming pockets.
9. It turns out a rectangle that needs to be folded into a wallet. We fold the pocket under the bills on one side. On the other hand, where the zipper is, we also bend the edge. The snake ends up along the edge of the edge.
10. We fold the purse again, attach the tie.
11. We make holes on it with an awl, connect it to the wallet with rivets.
12. Installing the clasp buttons.
13. We make a lining, glue it from the inside.
14. We glue the sides, make a line.

Important! The edges of this model can be decorated with small rivets and embossed with a press.

For men's wallets, thick skin is chosen, for example, buffalo, cow, goat. A material thickness of 2-2.2 mm is enough, otherwise the product will be quite heavy.
