BryonD Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Hi all. I've been doing some leather work for a few months now and finally made a few items I feel happy enough with to show off, my sister saw something like this on the internet so I made one for her and one for my girlfriend. I'm still learning and this site is perfect for help and inspiration. Bryon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halitech Report post Posted May 18, 2014 they look great and just a small thing for me, looking at the rivets you used, I'd probably look for some with a smaller head as they do look pretty big but then again, nothing to really compare them to so might be the smallest they have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryonD Report post Posted May 18, 2014 Halitach, they are kinda big (all I had at the time) I'm working on a diffrent way to attach them. Thanks for the feed back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted May 18, 2014 I've done the same and regretted it after wards so I now have a large selection of colors and sizes, makes it hard to remember what you need when you go to the supply shop when you get low though Not sure how it would look or even work, but what about 2 slots for the wristband to go through a little closer to the body of the butterfly? or maybe use 2 layers of thinner leather, have slots in the back on for the bracelet part and then sew around the edges? you could then use rivets to hold it in place and they wouldn't be visible just a few ideas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryonD Report post Posted May 18, 2014 Halitech, thanks for the ideas! I was toying with the slot version already , I'll post some pics when I get the new one finished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
