Step 7Bulk, glue, leather the handle
Ok, next step is to build up the handle.
Pictures 1&2
- Cut out two shapes of card, these need to be about 5-7mm smaller than the handle, so trace around, then cut it out a bit smaller
- Glue these sections to either side of the handle, i held mine in place with tape as i let it dry.
Pictures 3&4
- Once dry, i then attached a single pieces of thick leather to the top of the handle, this curves around the back and onto the other side, i glued this using PVA glue
- Further down the handle i then glued two sections of thinner leather to the inside, and outside of the handle, make sure to leave a hole for any switches/batteries. Super glue was used here, as the leather gets stretched slightly around the handle.
Picture 5
- cut out some sections of card to fill in the gap between the leather sections.
- i then added a cardboard section the the bottom where the switch is.
