This is the only way to do this braid that i'm aware of. It's possible that your band needs to be wet to make the braid work, as is true with any heavy (belt-type) leather.

Meanwhile, you might find my post on a new tool i purchased last year helpful -- http://aosleather.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-tools.html<BR/><BR/>This tool works great for heavy-duty snaps. Much better than the drive-setters available from craft stores. <BR/>Meanwhile, I will work up a snap tutorial -- thanks for the suggestion! Look for it in a few days.Art of Spirit LeatherWorkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000233801394372656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271795449011620937.post-72554931446539801412009-04-13T17:46:00.000-04:002009-04-13T17:46:00.000-04:00Wow thank you.

I admire your work as a leather artist greatly! <BR/><BR/>My 15 yo wants me to make him some arm bands, similar to the tooled wrist bands.<BR/><BR/>I have braided him one out of a commercially dyed leather as opposed to the straight hide I usually work with. However, it did stretch and he had to tie it. <BR/><BR/>Messy.<BR/><BR/>My main concern is, how do I do those snaps? I don't have any experience with snaps in regular sewing either! <BR/><BR/>I actually learned "backwards", leather first and now I do some material sewing haha.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, just wondering if you ever felt like doing a tutorial on the snap thingies..<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing!!!! melAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8271795449011620937.post-14788348281464080452009-04-07T19:17:00.000-04:002009-04-07T19:17:00.000-04:00Ha!
