SAFETY
In this video I use various tools and equipment. Please ensure you only attempt this at home if you are experienced at using the tools and have read and followed the necessary safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of each tool. This video is a very quick overview and I do not cover the full safety precautions in this video. Carry it out at your own risk. I cannot be held accountable for injuries or mistakes made when following this tutorial.

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!

Our pleasure!

[@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.

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.

Beautiful 🇧🇷

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@CathyDavies-nr1cd]

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

[@candacekramer4802]

I can’t find this webbing on your site.

[@CountryCowDesigns]

That specific webbing is now sold out, but here’s a link to our current stock on the site 😁 countrycowdesigns.com/shop/webbing/

[@user-xd8gr3mo9d]

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/

[@user-xd8gr3mo9d]

Thank you very much!@@CountryCowDesigns

[@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
