DIY leather belt

Leather belts are a good craft project for those new to leather crafts. Except for being one of the less complicated craft projects, they also make good presents. Contrary to what you will believe, it is essentially quite simple to make a leather belt.
If you plan to tool or dye the leather, it is ideal to pick a plant leather. This sort is easier to work with than other kinds.

Note the width of the inside of the belt buckle. Measure the waist rim of the individual who will be dressed in the belt. The size will be that of the interior of the belt buckle and the length one foot longer than the waist circumference measurement. To ensure an even cut, employ a straight edge such as yardstick. Many folks like to round the end.

Taking the other end of the belt, fold the leather back 1 inches to make a crease. Line up a slot punch with the middle of the crease.

using a rotary or drive punch, make two rivet holes in. The holes should be inch from each side of the belt. Fold back the belt on the crease and mark where the bolt holes overlap the leather.
use a belt beveller to trim belt edges smooth. Use a leather dye to paint the belt. Bear in mind that the dye in the container may appear clearly different to the finished version. When selecting a dye, Look at finished samples to be certain you are getting the color you would like.

permit dye to dry completely, flexing the leather often in the drying process. Once dry, clean with Neat’s foot oil or leather soap soap and buff dry with a clean material.

Insert rivets from the inside of the belt and apply rivet caps employing a rubber mallet.

Put on the Do it yourself leather belt”>belt and define where a hole is needed to ensure a close fit. Employ a rotary punch to punch a hole that is targeted from the perimeters of the belt. Working from this punched hole, punch a series of holes 1 inch apart.
