panchoskywalker Report post 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?

Sluggo001 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D1ave Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panchoskywalker Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michelle That's a good point Michelle, I'm new to leather working so I have no idea about thread durability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SantaFeMarie Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
