Members Myriam Posted April 22, 2008 Members Report Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) I was asked to create a tutorial on how to braid a dog leash. I just completed it and thought I'd share it with you too. It's up on my site and here's the link: Braided dog leash tutorial Enjoy! Oh and, any tips, comments, critiques are welcome, as usual. Always want to improve my work Edited April 22, 2008 by Myriam Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted April 22, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 22, 2008 Wow! Thanks Myriam! Great tutorial- it was pretty easy to follow. Only suggestion I have is when showing the strands weaving into the existing braid, tie a string or other marker on the side of the loop that was covered first. This would help identify it when the whole piece is turned to show the back. Just a simple visual aid for those of us who got confused. And as to your reason for the leash being so short......just say it's for husbands. Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted April 22, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted April 22, 2008 Myriam, great job there, I see you've got other tutorials as well, very good of you to do this. I like the way it's all layed out with the pictures and instructions in the bigger window. Now I'm going to have to get a dog so I can make him a leash. Ken Quote

Members Myriam Posted April 22, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 22, 2008 TwinOaks - Thanks, Mike. I took a look at my tutorial and I have a string attached, even though it's on the side that's just been braided. I reckon it's not really visible, should have used a contrasting color I guess. *takes note to use contrasting thread next time so it shows better* Thanks for the tip, Mike, and glad you like! Beaverslayer - Thanks, Beaver. Glad you like it. Yup, now you gotta have a dog indeed, not other way around Gibbsleatherworks - Nice hands... well... thank you And thanks for the comments! Leatheroo, Pip and SkipJ - Thanks! Quote
