Plastic scabbard for a knife with your own hands: what you need and how to do

To make a plastic sheath for a knife with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:

• rivet gun;
• small diameter plastic pipe;
• drill;
• rivets;
• fitting blade;
• spray paint;
• professional construction hairdryer;
• the press is flexible.

Such sheaths are made without inserts, the operation algorithm will be as follows:

1. Insert a knife blade into the plastic pipe and cut off a piece of material 2-3 cm longer. The diameter of the pipe should not be much larger than the width of the blade.
2. With the help of a construction hair dryer and a flexible press, they begin to deform the pipe. It is necessary to warm up and bend the material until it turns into an almost even "sheet" of plastic, but only double and with a (thin) space inside.
3. Next, insert a knife (blade) inside the plastic and continue heating, forming a sheath shape with a flexible press along the contour of the weapon.
4. In the remaining plastic on the sides, you need to insert rivets as close to the blade as possible.
5. "Excess" material is cut off with a sharp construction or clerical knife. The edges are cleaned with fine abrasive paper.

Ready-made plastic sheaths can be painted from a spray can, by selecting the desired shade it will turn out to create an exclusive item.

Fabrics for work

An important element, without which the bag will not last long and will quickly become unusable, is the lining. The fabric serves as a seal that protects the inside of the base material. Usually, during the creation of the pattern, several necessary parts are made, and then copies of them from the lining fabric are created using the same templates.

How to make a bag out of a leather skirt

Leather goods always look stylish and elegant. They are suitable for both women and men. Material for sewing a bag on a belt can not be purchased additionally, but instead show practicality and use an old skirt, boots or jacket, which are simply a pity to throw away.

Leather bag pattern

Genuine leather is a rather dense material that is not so easy to work with. Therefore, you should be careful and strictly follow the instructions when sewing.

To create a pattern for a belt bag, you need to take thick cardboard or paper, and for the bag itself - leather, 2 zippers and accessories for fastening.

Auxiliary tools will be a ruler, a leather knife, an awl, scissors, a pair of compasses and a sewing machine. The product can also be sewn by hand if a person is familiar with the technique of working with such a material.

Leather handbag

Pattern creation:

1. Draw a circle with a diameter of 27 cm on the cardboard.
2. Draw a horizontal line AA1 2 cm higher than the center of the circle.
3. Thus, the bag will be divided into two parts - the lower and upper parts. The smaller part will act as a lid, and the other side will become the back wall.
4. Measure the length of the smaller part of the circle from A to A1 and memorize the result. Set point B in the middle of the arc.
5. Do the same for the second part. Set point B1 in the middle of the arc.
6. Draw the front wall. Take a suitable sheet of cardboard, fold it in two, placing the fold vertically. Along the upper edge, mark half the length from point A1 and put a mark there. Measure 13 cm down the fold and set a mark. Connect the points with a smooth line along the pattern, the length of which will be half the length from point B1.
7. Cut and take as front wall.
8. Make markings for the zipper on this part.
9. Transfer most of the circle to paper and cut out. On the top left there will be point A, on the top right - A1, and below, in the middle of the arc - B1.
10. Cut out the back wall from leather and sew a zipper into the special hole.
11. Sew on the wall of the back pocket according to AA1.
12. On the pattern below points A and A1, that is, on the sides of the cutout for the lightning, points GG1 are set. They need to sew parts for fastening the zipper. Rings can act in their role.
13. Sew the details on the back side, aligning points A-A, A1-A1, B-B, B1-B1.
14. Unscrew the product through the zipper and enjoy the result.

For a women's wallet, tassels on the runner are good. To do this, you need to take a rectangle from the remaining leather, make several cuts, roll it into a roll and secure with glue. Thus, you get an imitated brush that will look harmonious with the product.

Important! This handbag can be worn on the belt, over the shoulder and on the chest. It will look appropriate when creating a business look or a casual option.

What scabbard can be made from scrap materials

From the materials at hand, you can make a "temporary" scabbard, and for this you can use, for example, even an old vinyl record.

How to work:

1. Take a plate (regular black) and put it in the oven at maximum heat. After 10 minutes, it will become soft and pliable.
2. Put a warm plate on a hard surface, place a knife blade on one half of it and cover with the other half.
3. Press everything with a wooden board, lean on your own weight.
4. Next, you need to adjust the "scabbard" contour, periodically heating the plate structure over the fire and cutting off all unnecessary with scissors.
5. The corner where the tip of the blade is located also needs to be "sealed" by heating.

All that remains is to wrap the product with tape and simultaneously fasten a piece of belt to the "scabbard" for attaching the weapon to the belt. Of course, such a scabbard can hardly be called a full-fledged product, but in force majeure situations, when you need to go out into the woods or go fishing, they will come in handy.

Watch the video on how to make a plastic sheath:

Ordinary plastic from bottles can also be used for temporary sheaths - you just need to heat it over a fire and form a "cover". Holes are made in it, into which the rope is inserted - the knife can already be attached to the belt and will not interfere with movement.

Decor methods

To add even more personality to the product, you can decorate it with your own unique design. Various accessories, dyes and yarns can help with this:

1. Embroidery is the oldest decoration method, and most importantly, the most beautiful and optimal one.With its help, you can apply any pattern to the bag, from the soft colors typical of women's products to the brutal Scandinavian ornaments that can be used to cover the men's model.
2. Fringe is perfect for ethnic-style accessories. It can be made from a variety of materials such as yarn, beads, pieces of fabric, or suede. The decor can cover the entire surface of the bag, or be an interesting little accent in the form of a tassel on the belt or zipper pull.
3. There are many different designs of fittings, so if the pattern of the bag involves a lock, you can choose the one that best reflects the idea of ​​the product.
4. Patches or emblems have become especially popular. These are designs that can be ironed onto fabrics. The advantages of such a decor are obvious - if the craftswoman is far from being creative, but you want to decorate the bag, you can only find a suitable image and stick it to the product in just a few minutes.
5. Rivets and rhinestones are common among girls' streetwear accessories. They give the bag a more relaxed appearance.

Even a novice seamstress can make a belt bag on their own. However, in order for the product to be of high quality, its production must be approached with all seriousness: draw a design, choose the materials correctly, draw up a pattern correctly - then everything will work out for sure.

Creating a cover pattern for an ax

First you need to create a layout of the future product on thick paper or cardboard. You will need to make one simple measurement of the width of the loop of the butt of the ax (in other words, the blunt side of the ax, which is opposite to the blade). It is permissible to immediately attach the ax to paper or cardboard, and then trace the outline of the butt. Thus, there should be three elements: the pattern of the left side of the case, the bridge and the right side of the case with the flap. Don't forget about seam allowances. The ax blade should be loose in the case. Otherwise, the part of the skin in contact with the sharp blade will quickly fray.

Over the entire area of ​​the pattern, it is recommended to add one or two centimeters to allowances. At the location of the butt, it is advisable to add another half a centimeter. When cutting the flap, the length of the blade must be taken into account. As for the height, there are no strict recommendations here - it all depends on the personal desire of the owner of the future case. As a rule, it is made equal to one second of the height of the product. It is no secret that tailors often use safety pins in order to avoid inaccuracies in translating patterns into materials. However, in this case, it is recommended to refuse this method, since the needles can leave tiny holes that will ruin the appearance of the skin, and subsequently the case itself.

Marking up, as mentioned earlier, is done with chalk, soap, pencil or marker. If you have high-quality and thick leather, there is no need to worry that the ink contour will appear on the front side of the product. Cutting is carried out by a deviation of 2-3 millimeters from the intended contour. This is because the dense leather material used is not easy to cut. There is a high probability of the appearance of an oblique cut line. In addition, when sanding the edges, the cuts acquire a more presentable and neat appearance.

Belt making

For a belt bag, the belt is an extremely important element.

The whole structure rests on it, so it is very important that it is made of high-quality materials and is securely fixed. Modern accessories are worn on leather, chain or belt belts

The first option is only suitable for products made from expensive materials, such as fur or leather. Depending on the model and its style, they can be wide or narrow - in either case, the material is strong enough to support the weight of the bag. Leather straps are attached to the product with rivets or a carabiner.Sewing on them is pointless, as the threads wear out quickly. If there is a need to adjust the belt, you can make a buckle like on ordinary trouser belts.

Chain belts are used with handbags in a wide variety of styles. Thin ones are suitable for small elegant clutches, wider and heavier ones for streetwear or casual clothes. The chains are connected to the main part using fittings rings. These straps are not adjustable, so they should be of optimal length.

Belt straps are used in any type of bag. They are simple to work with, have a pleasant appearance and are durable enough to support this type of product. The ribbons are simply sewn to the body of the bag; no additional accessories or carabiners are needed for them. To adjust the length of such a belt, it can be split in two and attached to the ends of the rivets.

Suitable materials for sewing

When manufacturing, it is necessary to choose the right material to implement the idea. The fabric for a suitcase cover must be strong and durable, as it is often cleaned.

These include:

1. Waterproof spandex. Its advantages: light weight, wear resistance, a wide range of shades, strength, dirt-repellent properties. The material does not fade, stretches 5 times its original length and quickly returns to its original state. The disadvantages include the possibility of puffs and sensitivity to exposure to sunlight, due to which the product can lose color over time.
2. Neoprene. It has an unusual texture and resembles a small honeycomb. There are several varieties of neoprene, indicated by letters. The following options are suitable: LS, S, HS. Also, the fabric varies in softness. This point must be clarified when purchasing. It has good thermal insulation properties due to its porous structure. It can withstand temperatures from +95 to -55 ℃. There is no need to worry that liquids inside the bag will freeze in the hold of the aircraft. In addition, it is environmentally friendly, durable, and resistant to sunlight. Despite all the advantages, the material has a number of disadvantages: it crumples strongly, requires special care - it cannot be washed in a typewriter, cleaned with stain removers, or dried near a battery. It holds its shape well, so when folded it takes up more space than other materials.
3. Elastic lycra. The material is almost impossible to find in its pure form, without admixtures of other fabrics. It is better to choose combinations with a footer or viscose - these are the most dense options. The advantages of the fabric include the ability to stretch 8 times without losing its original shape. In addition, lycra is not whimsical to care for, stains from the surface are easily washed off. The price range varies depending on the composition. However, such fabric can fade when washed, it is easy to make a hold on it.
4. Cloth burlap. A very durable fabric that has been gaining popularity in recent years. To sew a protective cover for a suitcase, you need to choose the maximum density. The advantages of burlap are: reliability, environmental safety, democratic cost. At the same time, the color palette is limited to only a few shades, the material is rather rough and can lose its shape after washing. Difficulties can also arise in the process of choosing a fastener for a cover.

Choosing which material is best for a suitcase cover should be based on personal preferences in color, price and density. However, it will not be superfluous to take into account the conditions and frequency of operation of the product.

You should also pay attention to the configuration and size of the bag itself.

Basic requirements for a cover for an ax

Experienced ax owners have formulated the basic requirements for a steel friend's cover:

1. Quality and reliability;

The strength and durability of a good, comfortable cover should approach that of an ax. It is better to make a strong and durable thing once, than to constantly patch up unreliable crafts. To do this, you need to use proven materials and technologies:

• good workmanship chrome leather is used;
• to increase water resistance, the skin is impregnated with special substances;
• for sewing, a wire thread made of flax fibers is used;
• each seam is sewn twice, in the opposite direction into the same holes;
• brass rivets strengthen the joints in the most stressed places.

1. Rigidity and strength

The case should protect the wearer from contact with the sharp blade during any movement, from running to an unplanned fall. In addition, the sharpened ax blade should also protect from meeting metal and stone objects that could disrupt the sharpening. For this code, a thickness of 3 to 5 mm is taken.

1. Ergonomic

An ax suspended in a case should not interfere with walking, wading through thickets, crossing various obstacles and performing work with other tools. This condition must be met both for light hatchets with a handle length of 30 cm, and for a serious tool with a handle up to 65 cm. To prevent the ax from interfering with the movement of a person, it is suspended from a belt with a butt along the way, with a slight backward slope. At the same time, the handle is retracted, resembling the position of a checker or other full-size edged weapon. In motion, it does not hit the thigh or knee, does not touch the grass and branches of trees and bushes. P = \ This position of the handle does not interfere with bending over or sitting down.

1. Convenience.

The cover should be comfortable to use. It should allow you to open it and remove the tool with one hand, without looking or removing gloves or mittens in the cold season. Equally important is the ability to easily and without additional movements put the ax into the case and fasten it when the need for the tool has passed.

How to make a PVC pipe cover

You can make a sheath or a simple blade guard in a few minutes. They will not let the point become dull, they will protect your hands from cuts if the ax hangs on the belt, and things from damage when it is in a backpack.

Required tools and materials:

• a piece of PVC pipe 1 inch or 100-130 mm;
• hacksaw;
• vice.

Making a cover from sewage elements

For the manufacture of this option, a plastic pipe with a caliber (depending on the size of the ax) 100–120 mm is used. Then determine the perimeter of the main part with the blade and butt and the widest point of the ax. To do this, use a rope.

The circumference of a 100 mm pipe is 30 cm, and 120 mm - 36 cm.If the perimeter of the main part is 30 cm (13 + 4 + 13), and the handle is 14 cm (6 + 2 + 6), then choose the second one.

For the convenience of work, a cut is made along the pipe with a width of 4–5 cm at a distance of 1.5 blade lengths. Then cut it to the middle and remove the excess parts, as shown in the figure.

Then proceed as described in the section on the plastic sheet case. A burner or a construction hair dryer is introduced into the pipe and begins to heat it up. You should drive the device evenly to the left, right and up and down so that the flame softens the entire inner surface.

After warming up, the ax should be put inside, and squeeze the plastic with a board or something flat. If the body cools down, you need to reheat it and continue the process.

Making a plastic case for the point

Take a suitable tube. Then they do the following:

1. A piece of an inch pipe longer than the blade is clamped in a vice.
2. Cut a longitudinal groove with a hacksaw.
3. They are planted on a point, marked and cut off.

If the ax has a rounded blade, then the protective cover is heated and bent. Only then is it cut off.

It is not that difficult to make a cover for an ax. You just need to think a little about the manufacturing process, select materials and tools. Based on these samples, you can develop your own design, which differs from the proposed cases.
