STEP ONE

Measure your phone and add ½ inch to the length and ¾ inch to the width.

The iPhone is 4.5x 2.5 inches, so the cut leather rectangles need to be 5 x 3¼ inches.

STEP TWO

Cut out two rectangles to fit your phone and cut ¼-inch strips to use as the stitching. Depending on the length of

your scrap, you may need to piece these together by tying them together end to end.

STEP THREE

Use the binder clips to hold the two rectangles in place when you make the holes, so they line up.

STEP FOUR

Punch holes around three edges of the rectangles, keeping the pieces together.

STEP FIVE

The leather pieces should look like this before you start weaving.

STEP SIX

Trim the ends of the strips so that they are tapered. Begin weaving by tying one end of the leather strip through the

first set of holes.

STEP SEVEN

Loop the leather through each set of holes until you reach the end.

STEP EIGHT

When you reach the last hole, knot it closed.

STEP NINE

Tie another piece of leather strip to the last hole to create a loop if your strip is not long enough.
