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.

I@@! But my friend pop by there to get the tools for me but heard she said they only sell the diamond holes 5 prongs n they don't have the rest. The uncle ask her to go art friends get the wax thread! Hehehe. So thinking whether other than Art friends where else will be selling it.
Up to date I've got:
1) Diamond Holes 5 prongs
2) Diamond Holes 2 prongs
3) Rubber Mallet (from diaso)
4) Cutting Mat (from diaso)
5) Needles
Still left out quite a few basic tools... :oops:
"sinner1974"
Curious how come u got the two prong instead of one prong diamond?
U need one prong for curve line actually
Spot light don't sell waxed thread
"sinner1974"
Haha I also wanna know where to find waxed thread in Singapore. I got my waxed linen from ebay.
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....
