Members panchoskywalker Posted February 28, 2015 Members Report Posted February 28, 2015 I was wondering how to make these kind of decoration. I understand it's all about making the holes on the right place and then begin the threading but do I have to apply some glue so the threads don't moves? Quote
Members Sluggo001 Posted March 1, 2015 Members Report Posted March 1, 2015 Just a guess, but, the threads may have been brushed over with some kind of flexible adhesive on the back side. I really like it and I'm curious to find out how it's done. Quote
Members D1ave Posted March 5, 2015 Members Report Posted March 5, 2015 I would guess they are slits as opposed to holes, just wide enough to fit 5-6 threads. But I'm only guessing. I'd love to know the process too. Quote
Members panchoskywalker Posted March 28, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2015 Well I tried on a strap, not yet perfect but I think I am on the right path. Will try again with some better thread as this one gets dirty easily. Quote
Members silverwingit Posted March 30, 2015 Members Report Posted March 30, 2015 Looks nice but I would worry about the durability of a belt made like that. How long before the customer returns it for repairs? Michelle Quote

Members SantaFeMarie Posted March 31, 2015 Members Report Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) One like this might be longer-lived, because the edges of the belt that are going to be rubbing against the beltloops are leather. Edited March 31, 2015 by SantaFeMarie Quote
