RockRash Report post Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I decided to make some sleigh bell straps for the family for Christmas. This is a work in progress. I have made the pattern and ordered the bells from weaver 2.5" ,2" and 1.5". I'm using a 3" brass ring so they can hang them from a door knob. It's a work in progress I'll update as I go. So far I've made the patter, punched the strap and did some tooling to the first one. Excuse the mess on the bench.

RockRash Report post Posted November 13, 2023 I decided I'd try painting on a scrap piece before I did anything to my big strap. After I toold it I decided to make a smaller strap out of it. I wish I would have positioned the holly leaf's better but l didn't intend to actually make anything. I'll swing by tandy tomorrow to get a buckle for it tomorrow.

SUP Report post Posted November 15, 2023 @RockRash that is not a mess! That is neat and clean! Your sleigh bell straps look great; the scrap one too. The holly leaves look fine, they look natural. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered them about a month ago and they had plenty of different sizes. I went back to order some more a few days ago and they only had a few sizes left. If I decide to make some next year I'll order them in the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
