Make Your Own Leather Belt
Do it Yourself Kit for Women's Slim Belts
code: Woman Belt Kit
Description: A Kit to make your own woman's fashion leather belt. Use the menue on the left to access and buy individual parts and accessories to make more belts.
You can use this to make just your own belt or make many belts for friends and gifts and maybe also start your own belt business - sell in a shop or online website.
This design is just a basic. Later you can vary the color of the belt, and style of metal parts.
The kit includes:
1) Two pieces of leather strap (1cm wide, 2mm thick). One piece is 1m long to make the belt and the other piece is 30cm spare to practice with studs.

The first step is cutting the leather and punching the holes. If you do not have a punch tool you can buy from us (choose "tools" from menue on the left). Take careful measurements of your waist and determine the length of your belt. You will need to cut three pieces of leather - one main long one and two smaller ones for the edges.
Before you punch the holes and hammer the studs practice one or two with the spare pieces included. Use the fourth biggest puncher on the tool. After making the holes, place the ring, insert the stud on one side of the hole, and hammer the cap on the other. Pay attention
on which side of the leather you do this. You want all studs facing outwards and on the right side of the leather. You can start with a small hammer and then give it a final blow with a heavy hammer. If the studs are hammered well they hold the leather tight and strong. Guaranteed.

There are two smaller pieces of leather on both ends of the belt. Here is a closer look at how to punch the holes for it. We are punching three holes in one shot.
Make sure to punch the hole right at the center, otherwise your stud will also not be at the center, and the belt will look sloppy.
The last step is connecting the small chain and buckle. Cut the length of chain you need according to your waist measurements.
Use the jump rings in the kit to connect the chain.
Good Luck! I am always available
