Craftiry: Leather Belt Making Kit

Looking for a gift that would delight every DIY guy or girl? Give them this custom leather belt making kit. Both female and male leather belts are a staple to any wardrobe, and they last forever, only acquiring character with years. They will cut out the holes in the leather, attach the buckle, and sew together the belt loop. A custom-made belt like this is truly original and no one else has it.

The straps of leather are made out of the part of the hide that's called a croupon, which can be found on the animal's back, where the hide has the highest quality. Thanks to the tightly intertwined threads, the leather is durable to pulling in all directions.

Moreover, it is a vegetable tanned leather, meaning it has been tanned traditionally using only natural compounds and their extracts, making it a nature-friendly way of tanning. A big advantage of this method of tanning is that edges can be easily polished with it, using only water and wood. The final product with polished edges not only looks better, but it is also sturdier.
