I really appreciate that you and Jo are so good at finding creative ways to really polish up our bagmaking, especially using techniques that are accessible without using an industrial machine. Thank you for all your hard work!

Strap looks great

Really nice - I will use this method with leather, cork & faux leather

Hello. I am based in the U.K. and wondering where I can get my hands on the rivet placement template as shown in this video?? What sort of price are they to purchase?? Thank you so much for your easy to follow tutorial!😊

[@CountryCowDesigns]

We got ours from Kallospere in the UK. They sell lots of useful acrylic templates

This is great and is a really quick way of completing a classy looking strap for a leather bag, or any bag for that matter. Thank you for sharing this.

[@CountryCowDesigns]

You’re welcome 😃

[@RebeDrawsStuff]

Thank you so so much for this tutorial! Even if I'm not using rivets or leather, I wanted my bag strap to be like this and your video was the only one that actually helped me to figure out how to do it.

[@CountryCowDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janetbaba6315]

Great video! Good job!

[@aled3218]

i don't have rivets but do have eyelets, would eyelets work the same in this situation?

[@CountryCowDesigns]

Potentially but it will be a lot harder.

[@mandycarter7372]

Great video thanks, have saved all my worries on making full leather straps for my bag making. 😊

[@CountryCowDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@craftyjuniper]

Why do you use the short piece, just to have the leather accents at both ends?

[@CountryCowDesigns]

It keeps the strap adjustable while still have the leather piece at both ends

[@pacificwav]

That looks beautiful. Would love to know where you get your leather and tips on which type is best.

[@CountryCowDesigns]

Thanks. I get most of my leather AA Crack and Sons in the UK. For these straps a 1.8/2mm leather works well

[@glendaj6624]

This is lovely. Thank you

[@manaliasaucedo5247]

Will you be having any more bundles available soon? Love the strap!

[@CountryCowDesigns]

Thanks. We just sold out. It probably won’t be for a few weeks before we restock them. Sorry

[@simonelopes1579]

Beautiful 🇧🇷

[@candacekramer4802]

[@TraceyBrent]

Hi what size rivets have you used please?

[@CountryCowDesigns]

I use a double cap rivet with a 9mm size cap. Here’s a link to the exact ones I used countrycowdesigns.com/product/double-cap-rivets/
