Making a Leather Lip Balm Case

TOOLS AND MATERIALS: https://www.buckleguy.com/corter-leather/making-a-leather-macbook-cover/?aff=14 Making a Leather Lip Balm Case If you're anything like us, Fall = lip balm season. With Fall knocking at our door we decided to make a leather lip balm case by hand to ensure our lip balm was always at hand. We used natural vegetable tanned leather to make this leather lip balm case. We sewed the piece together with a saddle stitch and poly threads and finished with a wax burnish. Since Lip Balm tubes are so small, the design of the case is important so that the case is an asset, not a hinderance. You need to either make the case loose enough that the tube of lip balm slides out easily, or you can do as we did and make a tighter fitting case with access to the twisting adjustment knob. We did this by punching some simple slots on either side of the bend of the case, so that the lip balm's adjustment knob sticks out and is easily accessed.
