I have when in a pinch made molds using wood. If you are skillfully with a jig saw and a sander you can make a mold in a coupe of hours

find an image online of the firearm and make sure the scale is correct

cut and paste onto the wood and cut out

not sure what trounble you're having. I sometimes dye a holster after constructing it, but far more often I dye the leather and THEN cut out the parts. There's a reason for that, another time.

I haven't had any issues with the dyed leather not taking water, the exception being some drum-dyed HO I ordered exactly ONCE ;) and for exactly that reason.

I like that contrasting look, and many other people seem to, too. ;)  Still, I sometimes let the thread go in BEFORE the dye, as in  the last pic.

The pre-dye is what I ended up doing.  You second pic is more what I'm looking for.  Oil is always nice because the thread doesn't discolor, at all.  I always appreciate your input!

So many  dying,sewing, molding &  assembly techniques in one thread. ;) Love the red on black, really stands out, but I would use a Q tip , ear bud to dye the insides of the holes,  but thats just me.
