I’ve wanted to find a leatherworking project where I could use my laser cutter to cut precise leather parts for awhile now. When Apple released the AirTag, and subsequently, Hermès released their $349 leather AirTag case, I couldn’t help but find myself inspired to try my hand at making a knock-off version for a fraction of the price. I had a ton of fun, learned a lot about leather crafting, and I think my own leather AirTag keychain came out pretty darn good if I do say so myself!
