DIY Leather Passport Holder

BY admin on January 1, 2015

With the new year on the horizon, it’s safe to say that travel plans are in the not-so-distant future. Use this simple do it yourself tutorial created by Always Rooney and craft your very own leather passport holder. The materials list is simple, get a piece of chalk, faux leather fabric and your passport for measuring purposes. If you’d like to make additional patterns or designs, you can use acrylic paint, q-tips, stamps and a hammer.

  1. First, lay your passport flat and use the chalk to draw a pattern, leaving about two inches extra on each side.
  2. Use scissors to cut out the pattern, fold the sides over and then sew around the rectangular shape.
  3. Always Rooney created a chic polka dot design using white paint with q-tips. Let your creativity go wild, because the possibilities are endless. You can create stamps and make an all over graphic print. Or, opt for a set of words or an inspirational phrase for added boost.
  4. Rooney used a hammer and metal stamps to add the words “Just Go”. Making this as a gift? Get crafty and engrave your loved one’s initials onto the cover for a more personalized appeal.

So simple and easy, yet the results are fabulous. Handmade gifts are always a nice touch. Whether you’re jet setting off to the Maldives or to backpack across Europe, you’ll need a passport holder to stay on track of things.
