Faux Aliligator Skin Wallet

[Craigg64]

Hi

Put this together for either a male birthday or father's day
Used the faux alligator skin technique from here

I used a velcro dot to hold the clasp

Enjoy

The SVG is available at the bottom of the original post.
You should be able to get the dimensions from that.
I also noticed that I left some extra objects in the SVG. You only need the 3 pieces on the page, you can ignore the others

I cut the file in scal with the font set to 11.5

Hope that helps

If you need more assistance I am more than willing to help

okay can you please tell us the finished width of the wallet closed and depth thats basically all we need.
thanks again for the svg

[Craigg64]

Open the wallet is 8.5" long (approx 215mm), excluding the little flap, x 3.5" wide (approx 90mm)
As I mentioned earlier if you set you SCAL font to 11.5 it will import into SCAl at the correct size.

Hope that helps.

I got those measurements straight off the SVG. I tend to design every thing at 1:1 (full size)
I am having trouble figuring out why people are asking for the dimensions. Am I missing something? I am only a bloke after all
Is there something I can improve when submitting designs in the future?
I am always up for suggestions?

Cheers

Hi there thanks for the measurements I opened the svg and it went off the 12x12 mat and I had to view the 12x24
the wallet pieces came up 4.5"wide x1.5" deep.

[Craigg64]

Hmmm that is interesting.

The pieces off the 12x12 mat are not required. They where just extra bits I forgot to delete. Sorry.

The fact that it came up with depth of 1.5" is strange.

The picture below shows the dimension directly from the svg.

This is absolutely amazing.. I bet you could actually make this out of vinyl..
