These are harder to make than they look....

[Tengu]

My wife maid my daughter one......

 

[Tengu]

[woodstock]

How long do they take to make

Where's the dog ?

 

[Tengu]

Woodstock; I didnt time it. They are easy to do, just need time...Something you can do in front of the telly.

Blacktimberwolf, no dog, its an ID card strap

 

[Bluemerle]

That looks great Tengu. where can i find out how to do it?

 

[Tengu]

Oh, they are very easy to make; its just lots of bits of leather cut into a dumbell shape, with two holes punched in, (Think of an `infinity` sign or an `8` on its side) and linked together.

This is a very small example, you can make bigger ones for belts and dog leads
