VIDEO TUTORIAL

HOW TO LINE A BAG STRAP WITH PORK VELVET LEATHER?

1. CUT THE STRAP INTO 2 PARTS

Cut 2 strips, one of 100 cm and another of 40 cm.
In this tutorial, the final strap measures between 115 and 125 cm (standard length of a leather bag strap).

2. CUT THE LININGS FROM THE STRAPS

Using a silver pencil, roughly trace the strips on the leather lining
If the length of the lining leather is shorter than the straps, you will need to make a connection (see next step).
DIY leather strap

Then cut the strips with scissors.

3. MAKE A CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)

If you were unable to cut the length in one piece: make a connection between 2 pieces of lining leather.
Trim the ends of the strips with a paring knife to remove thickness.
PARKING KNIFE GUIDE >

4. APPLY GLUE TO THE LINING AND THE STRAP

Apply contact cement to the crust (back) side of the strap and lining. Wait a few moments for the glue to dry.

5. STICK THE STRAP TO THE LEATHER LINING

Place the vegetable tanned leather strap on the lining.

For better adhesion: press the leather with a roller.

6. CUT THE EXCESS LEATHER LINING

With a rotary cutter, cut off the excess leather lining.

7. MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT HOLES ON THE 100 CM STRAP

On one end of the 100 cm strap: mark the position of the holes with a 4 mm cookie cutter. Here there are 5 holes spaced 2.5 cm apart.

Then, drill the holes using the 4 mm cookie cutter and a mallet.

8. PLACE THE CONWAY LOOP ON THE SMALL STRAP (40 CM)

On 3.5 cm, fold one end of the 40 cm strap.

Make 1 mark on the 40 cm strap to attach the Conway loop (for the stem). Then, make the hole and place the loop.

In order to block the conway loop, make a hole 2 thicknesses for the chicago screw or rivet.

The conway loop is placed.

To finish, all that remains is to pass the large strap through the loop, adjust the strap according to the chosen size and add carabiners to the ends of it.

WORKING THE SLICES

Optionally, work the edges of the strip with slice dye or tokonole.

DON'T WORRY, THE BONDING IS VERY RESISTANT!
