Elephant Leather Pattern – DIY Desk Organizer & Jewelry Box

Two elephants, double the function

Elephants are known for strength and wisdom — and this project brings both qualities into your home. My elephant leather pattern lets you craft two practical and decorative items: a desk organizer with three compartments, and a jewelry box with a magnet-closed lid. Both are shaped like an elephant, turning your workspace or dresser into something unique and handmade.

Materials you’ll need

To create these elephants, you’ll need:

• Vegetable-tanned leather, 2 mm (5 oz.)

• For 3 smaller details: 1.2–1.4 mm (3–3.5 oz.) leather

• Disc magnets, 1.5 cm (0.6 in) diameter, for the box lid closure

With these simple materials, you can craft pieces that are both sturdy and elegant.

Finished size

Both elephants measure about 15 cm (5.9 in) long including the trunk, 11.5 cm (4.5 in) tall, and 5.5 cm (2.1 in) wide. Their compact proportions make them perfect for any desk, dresser, or shelf.

What’s included in your download

With your purchase, you’ll receive:

• PDF templates (A4 + US Letter)

• SVG & DXF files for laser engravers

• Step-by-step video instruction

This gives you the flexibility to print and cut by hand or use a home laser cutter for precision.

Why this pattern is special

This design offers two projects in one:

• The leather elephant pen holder pattern creates a desk organizer with three compartments for pens, pencils, brushes, or leather tools.

• The DIY elephant jewelry box template gives you a container with a magnet lid to safely store rings, earrings, or keepsakes.

The files are available in elephant desk organizer PDF SVG DXF formats, so you can craft the way you prefer. The elephant shape makes both items eye-catching while keeping them highly practical.

Creative uses for your elephants

These elephants are not just useful — they’re also fun to personalize:

• As a handmade leather elephant design for your own workspace or bedroom.

• As a thoughtful handmade gift for friends or family.

• As a decorative piece that doubles as storage, perfect for minimalistic interiors or creative studios.

• As a unique finished item to sell at craft fairs or include in your portfolio.

For styling ideas, you could:

• Keep it natural with undyed vegetable-tanned leather, letting it patina beautifully over time.

• Dye it in rich browns or greys for a classic elephant look.

• Try bold colors like teal, burgundy, or even metallic leather for a striking, modern accent.

Each version tells its own story and makes the elephants fit seamlessly into different spaces.
