Members LostInThought Posted November 8, 2019 Members Report Posted November 8, 2019 Hey guys! First post. I was drooling over way too expensive clothing on the internet and stumbled across this belt. As you can see it's all wobbly. Does anyone know how this effect can be recreated? Thanks a lot in advance. Quote
Members Dwight Posted November 8, 2019 Members Report Posted November 8, 2019 Make the belt, . . . tie it to a line, . . . drag it behind your buggy for 30 Kilometers in the rain, . . . allow it to dry It may be expensive, . . . but it sure is ugly, . . . I wouldn't wear it to a soccer match, . . . and I hate soccer. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members YinTx Posted November 9, 2019 Members Report Posted November 9, 2019 Looks like it may be layered with a raised section. Wet form the top layer over the raised forms. I'm sure many other ways to get there as well. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

But the main takeaway seems to be water and drying. 9 hours ago, YinTx said: Looks like it may be layered with a raised section. Wet form the top layer over the raised forms.

Do you mean making a wobbly, somewhat rough surface to clamp it to while it dries? Edited November 9, 2019 by LostInThought Typo. Quote
Members Matt S Posted November 9, 2019 Members Report Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Is it definitely leather? From what little I can see from that little picture it looks like some sort of plastic moulding, in which cases the "wobbles" are milled into the mould. Edited November 9, 2019 by Matt S Quote

Without seeing it in person, I am guessing it is two layers of relatively thin leather, with odd shaped scraps of leather glued in between and lightly wet molded. Then maybe it is tied in a knot and left to dry! nick Edited November 9, 2019 by wizard of tragacanth Quote Wisdom from an old Missouri farmer, my Grandpa: If it's not sharp, it's not a knife.
