Please understand.How to DIY Your Own Glasses Lanyard at Home?The process of using our mini glasses holder leather cutting die is detailed and user-friendly, catering to both beginners and experienced crafters:Prepare Your Material: Select a piece of leather appropriate for your connector design. Ensure it’s clean, free of flaws, and of suitable thickness (thinner leathers for lightweight connectors, thicker hides for durability). Trim the leather to slightly exceed the die’s size for proper alignment.Set Up the Cutting Surface: Lay the leather on a flat, stable surface. For optimal results and blade protection, place an HDPE plastic cutting board underneath. This absorbs pressure and prolongs the die’s life.Position the Die: Place the cutting die on the leather where you want the connector shape to be cut. Ensure the leather is flat and secure to prevent movement during cutting.Apply Pressure with a Press: Using a clicker press or arbor press, apply steady, even pressure to cut through the leather. The Japanese steel blade will create a clean elongated shape with two small holes at the ends.Remove the Cut Piece: Gently lift the die to reveal the freshly cut connector. Check the edges for any minor imperfections, though the blade’s sharpness typically ensures a smooth finish.Assemble the Connector: Attach the connector to your sunglasses, roll the cut piece into a cylindrical shape, securing it with a button through the hole. Thread a lanyard through to connect it to the sunglasses.Bulk Production (Optional): For larger-scale projects, repeat the process to cut multiple flowers efficiently. The cutting die’s compatibility with presses ensures consistent results, making it ideal for craft fairs or small business production.Leather Thickness Recommendations:For most projects, we recommend using full-grain or top grain cowhide leather, which is available in various types and textures suitable for different needs.Bags: • Exterior: 1.8mm-2.0mm • Interior: 1.0mm-1.5mm Wallets: • Exterior: 1.5mm-1.8mm • Interior: 0.8mm-1.0mm Card Holders: Recommended leather thickness – 1.5mmNote: Interior leather includes materials used for the internal compartment, lining, and pocket.Check out Shock Crafts High Quality Leather Collections for more options.
