Need Bracer Straps Using No Metal Parts Or Lace

Recommended Posts

I've produced a bracer that looks like it is made of wood and I want the whole theme to be wood and leather, so I don't want any metal in the peice. I don't like laces for bracers. You either need help tying them each time or have to tie a knot one-handed. Also leather lace breaks and without metal eyelets will cut into the leather eventually.

I want to use straps. I can lace them or stitch them on, but I need a connection that isn't metal or lace. Bone or wood is fine but it's going to get soaked (I live in BC). Can anyone think of a connection system, two straps, for bracers that can be manipulated one-handed, with no metal parts?

Slot in the strap, leather or wood button.

Like Tree Reaper said, attach a strap with a slot cut into it, then use a bone, antler or wood button. Here's a link to a website that sells antler buttons...good pricing by the looks of it.

That's a good idea. I'm going to need to make a wider strap but that will work. I have a thin trap which would work for a traditional button/slot, but I want the hole to be big enough to fit the whole button so you can manipulate it with one hand. And Multiple buttons could add some adjustment ability. Thanks.

You could use lace as well, all you need is a loop to go around the button.
