Jeep CJ7 Leather Glovebox Bra... stuff keeps falling out

****************************************************

Stuff keeps falling out on the floor of the Jeep when opening the glovebox.

Decided to make a leather bra.

Used 8 ounce veg-tan leather. 

Took a piece of paper and rubbed it along the glovebox opening to create a pattern.  Transferred it to the leather and added a flap on each side and along the bottom.  Cut it out.

Stitched along the top contoured border to stiffen and give some style.

Wet the leather and used a ballpeen hammer to stipple the surface for a little texture.  Also matches my holster and gun belt.

Dyed the leather with Feibings Professional Oil Dye.

Built a wood press to form the 90º bends in the side and bottom flaps that will be used to screw it down to the inside of the glovebox opening.  Wetted the leather prior to forming.

Buffed it up and burnished the edges.  Then finished with an acrylic top coat.

Used masking tape to transfer the screw holes to the leather.

Also added a bonded nylon door stop to keep the door from swinging all the way open.

Hope you like this idea.
