Biker wallet with Mexican braid

[KennethM]

Hey guys,a have a request for a biker wallet with a medical braid.

 

I have some questions because I never done neither before.

 

1) with the Mexican braid, does that limit the design? For example, biker wallets with guesets? 

 

2) what time of lace works the best?

I've done bifolds, trifolds and biker/long wallets with the Mexican round braid.

Roo lace would be best but I've done it with calf lace and Imperial lace from Tandy

Sweet, what about the design, can it be done with a wallet that has guesets?

Don't see why not. Just need to watch where you are punching holes so you don't get in somewhere you don't want them

We used to have a member here that did a wicked set of videos on the Mexican Round Braid and had them on Youtube.  Sadly he removed all of them. I used to have a site that described it but they seem to be gone too.

1 main thing to remember when doing the corners, make the corner hole and the 2 next to it larger by about half as the lace will go through those holes more. Each one normally goes twice, the 5 at the corner will go 3 - 3 - 4 - 3 - 3
