Description
So, this was a completely new thing and kind of an experiment for me. I have never before embroidered genuine leather (I have worked with faux leather though). It definitely required a different approach because you don't want it to tear or the embroidery to 'pop out' of the leather. The needle leaves holes that you can't undo. So I was surprised how well these turned out!I want to make a whole lot of keychains like these for Abunaicon 2016 with all kinds of different anime, game and other images. I have a lot of these pattern ready for use already but suggestions are always welcome c:Β Some are flat and some are puffy and squishy c: The Cloud Strife ones are a little bigger but the material used for those is much thinner and requires a delicate hand. Those with white embroidery will glow in the dark.
All leather used for my crafts are renmants and scraps from livestock tanneries. The hide would be thrown away otherwise so I'm just putting them to good use.

In the Netherlands. It's an anime convention that is being held every year.

Thank you I plan on stocking up on some more leathers (incl. different colors) and will eventually offer these in my Etsy shop as well. Once I've made some more variations I'm going to make a selection for coming convention and list a small batch of the wolf paw prints in my shop.

I'll make a seperate deviation when they're up for official sale I need a few minor tools first to make sure the keychains have a nice clean finish. I cut them pretty clean I think but I demand nothing but perfection haha.

I plan on stocking up on more leather (more color variation) and will make a selection once I have another batch made. What I won't be bringing to Abunaicon will be available in my shop. Though in your case, you don't have to purchase one through my shop Β
I'm glad you like the patch! Glow in the dark never gets old, now does it?

wolfie1998 In reply to CyanFox3 [2016-03-01 10:07:07 +0000 UTC]
it really doesn't although I haven't seen it glow in the dark yet haha, do I have to activate it somehow?
Thank you so much <3 I'm definitely interested in one of these ^^ You make such pretty pendants
and patches and it will look great on my choker :3
Would these be available for custom? Like a name put under it or something? <3

Once exposed to UV light or any artificial light it will glow by itself. You can enhance the glow by charging the patch with blacklight for an extra long and strong effect. The spool of thread I have standing on my desk pretty much glows all night because after each round of use it's exposed to the bright lighting of my embroidery machine XD
Thanks! I'm happy to hear you think so Keychains and pendants make excellent souvenirs on conventions and making these is a lot of fun. I had to invest in some materials and pliers to get started but I think keychains will make a nice addition to my assortment. Last year I got a lot of people saying at my seller's booth that they didn't have anything to put a patch on so they didn't buy something. With keychains and other embroidered accessories you don't have that problem and I will be able to reach a larger audience. Especially on the last day visitors are out to buy little trinkets of $5-10 or below to spend their last money. Last year's experience taught me that
So that's pretty much where the idea started.
I might be willing to do custom designs once I've practiced leather embroidery a little more and know what is possible and what not. A name shouldn't be a problem though. c:
