 One of the old key chain holder need to upgrade, as some of the feature are not functioning or not serve it purpose.


This is an old key chain holder.

There is a remote control module is no longer use. It is light on/off control module.

The veg tan leather is too soft and there is limited "Support" for key holder.

This is an end product of key holder.

With it middle pad to give support and make center layer a rigid support


The VT2 button is hidden tag version.

This is the approximate size of leather 11.5 cm x 21.5 cm.

The center piece is base on four key head.




How to fabricate tag for hiding VT2 button head.


Tools required for tag.

In this case tag is about 2 cm width and the length can be adjusted depend on the design needed.

You will notice VT2 button head should position about mid point between the layer outer edge to the cut slot line.

The 2cm straight line hole is about 2cm from the edge.

Notice certain part of surface is clean or make rough before glue is apply

This is how a strip is inserted into 2 cm hole

This is to show the strip is glue to the layer. Remember to check the correct orientation of the strip.





Once the tag is glued it is time to punch hole for stitching work.
The purpose is to ensure the tag is secured properly when user pull tag to open key chain holder. 

You will notice it this case a wooden piece is use close to it edge as the VT2 button is close by.
