Make a Leather Cross Body Strap for ANY Bag! (GIVEAWAY!!!!!)

[@PollyEdwards1]

What I really love is that when I'm figuring out my own projects I can go through your videos and find little bits here and there that tell me how to do what I want to do. I'm making a shoulder strap for a cross body bag and needed some pointers. Hadn't even though of making it padded, so that's an extra win! Thanks!

[@christopherchapman8893]

I do the same thing!. I also end my search with Corter Leather to make sure that if (it) is there, it pops up first, lol.

[@karem9605]

That is a beautiful strap. But the main thing I want to say is, "I had never seen somebody invest so much love and effort on a giveaway, ever. ":)

[@Corter]

We wanted to make sure it was the best bag we could make, you guys have given us so much! It had to be beautiful :)

[@Edward55221]

@@Corter what glue do you use?

[@chemclimber]

@@Edward55221 any kind of contact cement will work for leather.

[@dalenielsen7054]

Burnishing both sides of the strap with canvas, you just saved me a lot of time. Can’t put a price on that or your beautiful “give-a-way” bag! Thanks for the tip!!!!

[@bbrachman]

Never attempted to make a shoulder strap. This video was perfect for simplifying the process. Thanks to both of you. I learn a lot from the both of you and cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time to film and edit these for us. [patiently waiting for a brass #2 blade handle to become available]

[@mitchwells69]

The coolest thing in the world would be to own that bag! You have been a guide on my journey through leatherworking.

[@ironforgeleather4250]

Another brilliant video! As always, very much appreciate the efforts both of you put into your creations. As Terrick of Chartermade said, "It takes a lot of courage to create something and share it with the world." I fully believe this. Thank you both!

My opinion and my opinion only the buckle end of the strap needs an additional keeper Theron

[@Rdave-vv8ie]

How do you develop the refined look of the bottom side of the strap that touches the shoulder? Did you glue the unfinished sides together when you reinforced the pading?

[@denniscrawford7191]

Great video. I was wondering about the nylon reinforcement tape. Very interesting. Can you recommend a brand? Thanks!

[@RsJaneP]

Beautiful! Curious as to why you didn’t use the same colour leather to do the stitched on log/emblem on the front? I think the contrast would be extra amazing :-)

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Super nice.

[@sherrycarty738]

What is the nylon tape? It looks like it has an adhesive backing? Am I overlooking it on the supplies list?

Does that double sided tape not leave a sticky residue on your stitching irons and needles? I would use the tape more but it always gums up my tools:(.

hello, your pieces are beautiful, but unfortunately i never figured out how to download the molds or your designs.

[@Alextoddanderson]

If it’s an artistic choice, you can totally ignore me here. I have been bingeing your videos for the past hour or so. Now I have to buy leather working tools and materials. I’m sure my girlfriend will be so pleased. Anyway what I was initially saying, your cameras shutter speed seems to be off. Maybe a little too high. Generally the rule of thumb is to set your shutter speed to roughly double your frame rate. So if you record in 24 fps, you’d want 1/50 shutter. Or if you record in 30 fps, you’d want a shutter speed of 1/60. This makes things appear more natural to the eye. Otherwise it can almost appear to be a Timelapse when it really isn’t. Again if this is a choice. Just ignore me completely.
