To begin, gather your materials, which will include a piece of
stiffener, a marker, your cut out PDF shape (we are using the
pennant triangle here), a belt punch, pliers, scrap leather, a
chain, and a pack of jewelry findings.

Next, use a rotary cutter and ruler to trim your leather to the
shape of your template piece. Cut as many of the shapes as
you want to incorporate into your jewelry piece.
Trace the quilt shape of your choice onto a piece of stiffener
and proceed to cut it out. This template shape will help
create clean, consistent cuts for your quilt shapes when
using materials like leather or felt.
Once your leather is cut, use a belt punch on the smallest
setting to punch the holes for findings into the pennant
bottoms (the shortest side of the pennant triangle).
