making a belt from raw hide


ok so i am like a mad scientist when it comes to being creative, i live to make things i remember as a kid. so i was checking out all of Sugar Cane company wicked raw materials, such a beauty these raw goods.
okay oaky soo i saw the belts, amazing, i dont know what got into me but i wanted them all!
so i took the primitive way or nowadays it could be the new modern way
so i went to this cow boy shop and snagged some raw hide, cows butt, and got a strip cut and rubberbanded. While on the way home i stopped by the army surplus and picked up a buckle and some black and white oiled sewing thread, oh yeah i had a plan and guess what, i love this belt i created


so i streached the leather out sprayed it down with some warm water and cut a small strip for the leather loop,
then i marked the holes and drilled them,
bent the tip marked the area to add the buckle and sewed it together and now you see the finished mad frankenstine product

here are some photos
