+This axe holder will be one flat loop around the belt,
+and one oval loop around the axe shaft.
+
+For the belt part, make two rectangles that's 7,5 cm by 8 cm.
+For each part, bend it along the longer side and flatten,
+then on the top, cut away the top 1,5 cm section from one
+of the sides, and on the opposite side on the other rectangle.
+You will now how two double-layered rectangles circa 4 cm wide
+and 6 cm tall, with an extend of 1,5 cm on one of the layers.
+Sew these close along the the open long side, and optionally,
+decoratively on the closed long side. Next, sew them together
+on the short sides, so the form a loop. The 1,5 cm extent should
+be on the outer side, and arc over to the outer layer on the
+other part. When done, you can remove excess material from the
+extent.
+
+Be sure to read the entire instructions before continuing!
+
+For the axe part, you will make a X cm by 8 cm rectangle, where
+X is the largest circumference around the axe's shaft (that was
+12 cm in my case), plus at least 1 cm (that's a reallly snug fit,
+you may want to add 2 cm instead). This part should also be bent
+across the along the 8 cm side, to form a strap that's circa 4 cm
+wide, and then sew along the longer side into a double-layered
+piece. Then sew it together (on the short sides) so that it forms
+a loop.
+
+Next say, the two parts together, rotated 90 degrees relative
+to eather other, so that one hole is horizontal and the other
+vertical.
+
+If you have a sheath, you have two, non-exclusive, options for
+making it possible to attach it to the axe holder.
+
+1) Add a half of a push button which a push button on the sheath,
+   if it has one, can attach to. This push button half should
+   be in the centre of the axe part, before it is bent and
+   sew tohether, along the X side and centered on 2 cm from the
+   edge on the 8 cm side (middle after it is bent into 4 cm).
+
+2) Add an thin elastic strap going from one side of belt part
+   over the axe part, to the other side of the belt part.
+   (Center it) Being with only attach it one end. Then cover
+   it with a single-layer (flat and thin) leather strap, then
+   attach the other end. When covering the band, do not sew
+   into it, instead sew across it.
