How To Make This Thread Decoration?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering how to make these kind of decoration. I understand it's all about making the holes on the right place and then begin the threading but do I have to apply some glue so the threads don't moves?

Just a guess, but, the threads may have been brushed over with some kind of flexible adhesive on the back side.

I really like it and I'm curious to find out how it's done.

I would guess they are slits as opposed to holes, just wide enough to fit 5-6 threads. But I'm only guessing. I'd love to know the process too.

Well I tried on a strap, not yet perfect but I think I am on the right path. Will try again with some better thread as this one gets dirty easily.

Looks nice but I would worry about the durability of a belt made like that. How long before the customer returns it for repairs?

That's a good point Michelle, I'm new to leather working so I have no idea about thread durability.
