Passport Wallet Acrylic Template Set – Two Pocket Styles

Create a refined leather passport wallet with a durable, reusable acrylic template set designed for accurate cutting, consistent alignment, and repeatable construction.

The Passport Wallet Acrylic Template Set includes five pattern pieces and two alternative left-side pocket styles, giving makers more than one way to configure the finished interior.

The completed wallet is designed to organize a passport along with cards, identification, travel documents, receipts, or other essentials. Its straightforward construction makes it a useful project for developing wallet-making skills while still offering enough flexibility for experienced leathercrafters to customize the finished design.

Use the templates with a pencil, pen, scratch awl, or other marking tool to transfer each component onto your leather. The durable acrylic edges may also be carefully used alongside sharp leather knives and cutting tools.

What’s Included

This five-piece acrylic template set includes the components needed to construct the passport wallet, including:

• Main exterior wallet body
• Interior passport pocket components
• Two alternative left-side pocket styles
• Relevant supporting pattern pieces

The two pocket options allow the maker to select the interior arrangement that best suits the desired look, carrying capacity, or construction style.

Relevant information is permanently laser-engraved onto the acrylic where applicable, including:

• Pattern-piece identification
• Alignment references
• Pocket-spacing guides
• Stitching references
• Hole-punch locations and sizes
• Fold or assembly locations
• Skiving guidance
• Construction notes

Review all engraved notes before cutting, punching, skiving, gluing, or assembling the leather.

Two Interior Pocket Options

The template set includes two different left-side pocket styles, allowing makers to vary the wallet’s interior without purchasing a separate pattern.

This flexibility makes it possible to create different versions of the same passport wallet for:

• Personal travel
• Handmade gifts
• Customer orders
• Coordinated product collections
• Small-batch production
• Branded corporate or travel gifts

The template controls the critical exterior dimensions and interior alignment while leaving the final pocket selection to the maker.

Hand Stitch or Machine Sew

The passport wallet can be constructed using either:

• Traditional hand saddle stitching
• A leather-capable sewing machine

Choose the method that best fits your tools, experience, production needs, and desired appearance.

When machine sewing, account for presser-foot clearance and the combined thickness of overlapping pocket layers. When hand stitching, use the engraved references as a guide and select the final stitch spacing, thread size, and hole style appropriate for your materials.

Choosing Your Leather

Passport wallets are commonly made from relatively thin, firm leather to reduce bulk where the interior components overlap.

Suitable options may include:

• Vegetable-tanned leather
• Kangaroo leather
• Calfskin
• Goat leather
• Firm chrome-tanned leather
• Thin bridle or harness leather
• A combination of exterior and interior leathers

When selecting materials, consider:

• The total thickness created by overlapping pockets
• The firmness and temper of the leather
• Whether the wallet will be lined
• Whether the edges will be burnished, painted, folded, or left natural
• Whether the wallet will be hand stitched or machine sewn
• The amount of structure desired in the finished piece

Test the leather and assembly method before producing multiple wallets, particularly when combining different tannages or thicknesses.

Make the Design Your Own

The passport wallet provides a practical foundation for customization through:

• Contrasting interior and exterior leathers
• Decorative hand stitching
• Tooled or stamped covers
• Laser engraving
• Names, initials, or monograms
• Corporate and travel branding
• Painted or burnished edges
• Decorative pocket shapes
• Custom thread colors
• Lined or unlined construction

The included pocket options make it easier to create multiple variations while maintaining a consistent overall wallet size and construction process.

Designed for Repeatable Results

The rigid acrylic templates help you:

• Position each component consistently on the hide
• See leather grain, scars, color variation, and surface character beneath the tinted acrylic
• Avoid undesirable areas before cutting
• Produce consistent exterior and pocket shapes
• Maintain accurate pocket spacing and alignment
• Transfer construction references clearly
• Reduce repeated measuring and pattern redrawing
• Reproduce the wallet for gifts, custom orders, or small-batch production

Built for Daily Workshop Use

Each Odin Leather Goods acrylic template is:

• Laser-cut from durable 1/8-inch tinted cast acrylic
• Built for frequent use in hobby and production workshops
• Transparent enough to see the leather beneath the template
• Suitable for use with pencils, pens, scratch awls, and other leather-marking tools
• Durable enough to be used carefully alongside sharp leatherworking knives and cutting tools
• Permanently engraved with relevant notes, spacing references, and construction markings
• Designed and made in Texas by working leathercrafters

Unlike paper or cardstock patterns, the rigid acrylic will not easily bend, distort, tear, or wear out through repeated use.

Acrylic Color

Due to changing material availability and supply lines, your template may be made from green-, blue-, or orange-tinted acrylic. Acrylic color is not selectable and may vary from the product photographs.

The color does not affect the template’s dimensions, durability, markings, or functionality.

Important Notes

This listing is for the five-piece acrylic template set only. Leather, lining, thread, needles, adhesives, tools, passports, finished wallets, and other supplies are not included.

The acrylic may arrive with a removable protective film on one or both sides. Remove the film before using the templates.

Passport dimensions and travel-document formats can vary by country. Confirm that the completed design is appropriate for the passport or documents you intend to carry before beginning production.

Leather thicknesses, stitch spacing, edge treatments, and construction methods should be selected according to the maker’s materials, tools, experience, and desired finished result.
