Finally, I finished my first project, a leather belt! I’ve been working on it since day 1. If you remember, I ordered two 1.25″ leather strips on Ebay to make some belts. I’ve only worked with 1 because I want to make the other later on to see the difference in my progress as a leather crafter.
Anyway, I’ve edge beveled, burnished, stamped, dyed, finished, added rivets and a belt buckle. For the most part I was able to get most of it done right away.
I’ve been waiting on getting the rivets, finish, and belt buckle for a bit now. I ordered some belt buckles online and they came in the other day and I didn’t like them so I went out to Hobby Lobby and bought one I like there, as well as a Finish.
And with that, the belt is done! Take a look at the picture below, you can see the stamps I added, the dye color of dark brown, and it has a slight sheen on it thanks to the finish. I am a little worried the rivets are a little short but it seems to hold well.
Can’t wait to make more belts in the future! But for now, I think the next project I’ll be working on is some bracers/arm guards.
