Video Demonstration
There is currently no video instructions for this template.
However, a few years back we did a quick little video showing how we made one version of the hotel key. You can see it below.
Leather Selection
The leather we suggest for making your hotel key depends on where you’re doing a 2 layer stitched, or, single layer. If you’re doing a single layer of leather, we suggest a thicker piece of vegetable tanned leather (medium firm – firm) in the 7-9oz range.
If you’re going to be a stitched version like you saw in the video, we suggest thinner leather, 3-4oz (1.2 – 1.6mm).
Guidelines of Template Usage
We put a lot of time and effort into producing these templates, videos, and blog posts. Please do not distribute the template you have purchased from MAKESUPPLY. It’s not cool and hurts our feelings (CRY EMOJI). And we have eyes EVERYWHERE.
However, you are free to do whatever you want with the end product you create using the template.
