Done! Handmade full stitch strap, about 4mm thick. The stitches still not very neat, must practice more.



Time to look for rose gold or pvd 22mm buckle.








This looks awesome!!

If u need more practice, u can make me one exactly like that?? 22/22mm! :lol:



Not neat is ok... Makes it look rugged :D



Well done bro!!

dear sinner1974 kor kor,



got one qn to ask. how u hide the end knot of the thread? :oops:
sinner1974
Re: Make your own leather strap
Make one more loop on the last hole, leave about 2mm length then cut, burn the end part and press it. If u use cotton or linen thread then cannot burn, got to use white glue to hold in Place.

U might wanna consider Buying beeswax to wax your own thread. The beeswax can used to burnish your strap edges too

To save some cost, just use a candle stick..... Round the thread there and pull it slowly.... And do few times, normally I do 2 times.



U guys lucky that u can find prong, none here..... So I use the old method way....

Re: Make your own leather strap
