Make Your Own Leather Cord Pie Carrier

Materials needed

leather scrap
soft leather cording (I used icy blue from this other wood necklace DIY!)
hot glue gun
leather shears or heavy duty scissors

Start by cutting your leather piece. Mine measured 4.5 x 6″.
Heat up your glue gun and roll the leather piece together. Place a strip of glue on one side at the end and bring the other edge so it slightly overlaps and lays on top of the glue. Press and hold firmly until the glue has set.
Cut the leather cording to a piece about 5.5-6 ft long. And wrap the pie box like a present first starting by laying the cord over the top of the box and wrapping it around the box so the ends of the cord meet underneath.
Twist the cord underneath the box and bring the two ends back near the top. They should now be coming up opposite the top cord. See the picture below!
Tie the cord in a knot in the center of where they meet.
Thread the leather piece onto one end of the cord and tie the two ends of cord into a square knot.
Pull up on the leather piece and the knot will hide discreetly inside! And you’re done! Easy as gift wrap!
When you’re ready to open the box, simply slip the leather cording off of one side to open the lid!
