This leather pencil holder pattern makes a laced boot 12.5 cm (4.9 in) tall that stands on your desk and holds pens, pencils, markers, paintbrushes, scissors or modelling tools. The toe, the sole and the lacing give it the look of a real miniature boot.
As a bonus, the download includes two small boot keychains, 6 cm (2.4 in) tall, simplified from the big boot. All three are made from offcuts of any leather – smooth, distressed or dyed – so this is a good way to use leftovers from bigger projects. Lace them with ordinary shoelaces or a leather lace.
