How to?

Anyone know how this is done? I cant get a hold of the maker.

looks like filigree work - cut out the background, glue in colored backing, line and stitch. incidentally, I wouldn't have cut out that much ... I would think that with a belt or strap it's been weakened too much.

That is how I would do it. I'd have done the front in thinner leather and the back in thin leather that was dyed that color when needed, but was made to match everywhere else. I would sew the two together with whatever stitch seemed appropriate. It's be cool to see that a with matching suede lace whipstitch instead of the thread.

I remeber him saying something about drilling it out with a small diameter drill bit. thought that might be quick way to getter done.
