Everyday Cosplay - Making a Leather Corset Belt Inspired by Tauriel from The Hobbit

[@EmelieWaldken]

Really beautiful work, and a good introduction to leatherwork for someone like me who is handcrafty in general but has not worked much with leather. I'm just not fond of the colour personally, and perhaps the back of the belt could have been a bit pointy too, or have some sort of curve, instead of just straight.

Hey, I've found a like-minded person! I'm also on the journey to sew my own "everyday cosplay" wardrobe :D And my main inspirations are precisely wood-elves and jedis! I want to make poofy pants and a laced overdress and a tabard ....and a leather corset belt

Yessss, love finding other people who are exactly my brand of weird!

How difficult would you say this is to make?

[@SnappingDragon]

Leather tooling is tricky if you have no experience with it. The belt itself is not difficult, just the design.

Interesting, I’m looking for a belt with this shape - I love the leaves and such but I don’t think I have the skill to pull that off sadly 😭
