IN PIN-UP STYLE
Back to the 50s! Then the images of sexy girls were usually pinned to the wall, and soldiers pasted them inside their lockers. But our pin-up beauty, made of leather of different colors, will be tempting to flutter on a bag.

Length approx. 20 cm
YOU WILL NEED:
Flap of natural or artificial leather in black, white, red and metallic blue; adhesive for textiles; 1 carbine (Ryher); chain of anchor weaving with thin links 8 cm long (Ryher).
DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
Reshoot the girl’s motive. Draw the drawn parts (hairstyle, hat, swimsuit, etc.) as separate parts. The figure of the girl is carved from white leather 1x and in mirror reflection from black 1x. Cut out the drawn parts from the skin of the corresponding colors, place on the details of the figure and stick.
From black leather, cut a strip for the loop 3 cm long and 5 mm wide. Insert the strip for the loop into the last link of the chain, glue the ends of the loop and stick on the wrong side of the head. Stitch the figure along the lines of the motive.
Stick the figure to the black leather part. Attach a carabiner to the chain.
