So i'm trying to make my own camera strap with neck pad on it (please refer to photo attached).
for the neck pad, I use two pieces of veg tan leather stitched together. The problem is that when the neck pad bend back and forth it created wrinkles on the bottom part (photo attached).
I tried to minimize this by pre-bend the neck pad when gluing them together (so after i glued them together..the neck pad stayed in u-shape), but it seems like the wrinkle problem still there.
Do you guys have any way that i can go around this problem?
I'm using 1.2 mm veg tanned then I dye it with alcohol dye...after it dried I put some dubbin on.
then glue them together > stitch > beveling then burnishing. After a couple bending, the wrinkles showed.
Couple straps was done with no wrinkles. I don't know why because they all came from the same leather sheet. What I noticed was that those that do not have wrinkle were softer.
Does the way i cut the leather matter? (i mean like vertically or horizontally to the leather sheet)
If you need to know any more information please let me know.
Thanks in advance
