Des804 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Ok I need to make a belt out of some belt blanks that I have that are to small to fit. Is there any way to connect the belts with a braid stitch or anything like that to each other so that they will still go through the belt loops easily enough ( as in I dont want to just attach another piece of leather between the two and sew them together that way and really dont want to try to skive an angle between the two cause I've never been good at that. ) Quote
Members drphil Posted October 27, 2011 Members Report Posted October 27, 2011 Well, I know you are looking for a more innovative idea than this, but have you considered this type of buckle set? They do have a special name, but I have forgotten it. Essentially they have a decorative piece that attaches in the middle of the belt. So you can take two smaller strips and make a full size belt. I am not sure how durable it would be, but I assume it would work. I haven't used one but always thought they looked useful. SLC carries a few different styles too! Good luck! Quote
Des804 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Yes I had thought about having a strip of chainmaille inbetween. Im trying to go with a quick thing if I can that I dont have to buy extra items ( I have the leather lace I have Rivets Dont have grommets though which is one reason I didnt want to do the chainmaille cause sooner or later if I just used punched holes it would rip them through.

Members steelhawk Posted October 28, 2011 Members Report Posted October 28, 2011 Maybe you can put some kind of woven section using leather strips in between the pieces. Quote
