GirlFromScandinavia Report post Posted June 25, 2011 Hi! We are selebrating midsummers festivals here in finland this week end , so happy Juhannus to everyone! Ive got this strap to finish off and I wanted some nice braiding for the edge...but Im having problems since Im not sure what its called in english. I just wanted to punch holes all along the edge, and with thin leather , braid it so it would be more durable and also look nice. Please, if anyone can help me out with a you tube site or anything that would help me see on how to do this edge bit, id really appriciate it. Plus, please tell me what its called so I can search for it in the future!! Thanks in advance! Katariina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted June 25, 2011 Katariina, . . . Greetings to you also from the other side of the Atlantic pond. Do a Google search, use this: "Double Loop Lacing" and don't take out the quotation marks. One of your choices will be a you tube video of the type lacing done on a billfold, . . . and while it will take a lot of lacing and a lot of time to do, . . . when it is done, it will look very good. For my guitar straps, . . . I just sew the two pieces together, . . . sand the edges, . . . and burnish them like I would do for a belt. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted June 25, 2011 I would recomend using Mexican Round Braid as your pattern. This will give fuller coverage than most of the other patterns. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
