As you might have noticed (for the previous post), I have developed an interest in notebooks. I have recently begun using one and it is great. However, my obsession with notebooks will have to wait for another post.
Because I have recently been using a notebook I have found that I need to find a place to put a pen/pencil. Like always, I did some research and found very few real good methods of carrying a pen/pencil. One of the best I found was developed by a company called Quiver. Their holders are great and quite different for the rest of the standard holders you can find.
After many hours admiring their work I felt it was time to have a go at making one. I loved the project. I finished it with a couple of hours and now have a template incase anyone else would like one. I will be making a few and putting them for sale my Etsy.com page. Until I have a chance to do that I thought I would show you the my first attempt.
Here it is:
The holder holds two normal size pens or one large (thick) pen. It is made of very soft full grain leather and is saddle stitched with orange thread.
The holder is held in place by tension. The elastic strap allows the holder to be stretched to fit a notebook around 20-21cm in height. Which means it will fit any A5 notebook and the large Moleskine notebook.
Like always, Let me know what you think.
And, if anyone wants one. Send me an email and we can discuss the leather and thread colour.
Take care.
