A pocket-sized everyday carry (EDC) container wrapped in saddle-tan leather with hand-stitched details.

  • Measure the height and circumference of a slender pill bottle; cut a matching rectangle of 3-to-4-oz vegetable-tanned leather.

  • Punch stitching holes along both short edges using a 4mm leather stitching chisel.

  • Wrap the leather around the bottle and hand-sew the seam tightly using waxed linen thread and a classic baseball or saddle stitch.

  • Sand and burnish the top and bottom raw leather edges with gum tragacanth and a wooden slicker.

  • Fill the interior with wooden toothpicks, single-use dental floss picks, or breath mints.
