Custom Slobber Straps

I wanted to share my progress so far on these slobber straps! They are turning out better than I thought!

They will be dyed, painted, and stitched this weekend!

They look good. You’ll have to post a picture when you’re done.

They look good! What sort of paint did you use? Was it specially made for leather? And did you have to put anything on first, or just paint straight on the leather?  Am working on a project, and looking into painting some parts of it.

Thank you! I used leather paint. I can't remember the brand, but it's kind of like a watered down acrylic. You don't need to prep the leather in any sort of way, you can paint straight on it. I would say sealing it with a resolene or lacquer would be helpful, but over time paint will come off anyhow. On this project, I opted for Tan-Kote so it could still be oiled.
