Members Klarrison Posted October 4, 2013 Members Report Posted October 4, 2013 I have only been doing leatherwork for just a few months & still have a great deal to learn. I also do beadwork and want to know what is the best way to inlay beadwork to leather? Glue it? Sew it? What works best? Also, where is a good place to find beads??? I tried to upload pics but keeps saying my files are too big Quote
Members DoubleC Posted October 4, 2013 Members Report Posted October 4, 2013 You need to reduce the size of your files to upload them in whatever photo program you have. On a belt for example you make your bead work longer that the inlay hole and at both ends of the hole skive a 'shelf' under the veg tanned to put the beads so they lie evenly along the belt. Most people sew them in at this point after putting a liner behind them to sandwich them in. I'm sorry you could post your pics, I imagine they are nice.
