Learn how to Make a Belt
Learn to Make a high quality hand made leather belt
A belt is often underestimated and seen as a simple item to make, it is after all just a strip of leather with a buckle on, right?
Not quite, there are skills and techniques that need to be learnt in order that a high quality, durable and good looking belt can be made.
It is ver easy to overlook what is required when making a quality belt.
There are a great number of techniques that can be employed in making a belt and a number of ways of achieving these techniques.
On this course, we look at those in detail.
One day is not enough to cover all of this and actually make the item.
However, you will leave with a template set and the knowledge of how to use them.
