If you us leather, you'd probably want to have a lip extending from the lid
so it would sit straight when closed. Or, make the hinges straps that go
around the box and become the catch also.

Soliciting your ideas. I frequently build small boxes out of materials
1/4" or less. This prevents me from using most of the common methods of
hinging the top. Any ideas on how to hinge something that's 1/8" or so?
I'm thinking leather might work. Which side out (is it just a matter of
preference?)? What glue to use?
