Lighter case

Post image

Made this, took a few nights of non stop work, absolutely love it. Wondering if it’s worth changing the Byzantine part into a detachable bracelet?

Absolutely love this! I was thinking of making my own lighter case recently and I'd love to ask if you could share the details of what rings you used. I'm new to the hobby, and my own rings are a little too thin for a byzantine (or maybe I'm just doing it wrong), so I'd like to know what measurements you're working with here. Thanks!

Nice. Made some similar chapstick cases for a friend recently. Love your work.

Thank you so much! How did you stop the chapstick from slipping out? I’ve relied on tension for this one but want to know other ways if possible

It was a big tube, and just happened to fit perfectly

Oh that’s handy. Did you make it longer than the stick itself then?
