Coin and Card Case
Posted by Craftip (Jan 30, 2015)
I made a coin and card case with Hermann Oak Leather. 2.5 mm thick leather is used for the upper side and 1.5 mm for the other parts. Vinymo (polyester filament thread) #1 ecru color was used for stitching. The appealing point is that you can keep cards inside of the case. It also provides feel of security. The case can hold some folded paper money too.

Use a hole punch to punch holes and pierce them one by one with an awl. You may be able to prevent the holes to become too big by following the procedure. You can work better on a cork or a soft board called Lion Board.
