: I just happen to have a whole bag of random leather strips

: I chose this strip

: I cut the strip in half

: It wasn’t exactly even…

: So I sliced it.

: Again with the wing dividers

: Again with the wing dividers

: I adore evenness…

: There we go…

: Touch up with the metal brush

: Poke it through the flap

: And bend it down

: Stitching up the bottom on the front

: And it’s ready! Except…

: Using some cardboard to add some reinforcement

: Snippy snippy

: Reinforcements!

: They go in here…

: BARGE
