Dusk 1 Posted February 6, 2018 Is it possible to make pam straps from post sacks is there a process to back them onto leather or similar? I like the cool stencilled writing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted February 6, 2018 Of course you can ! Just choose the base you want (either leather or another canvas material) and use liquid neoprene glue to stick the two together. I advise you that you do that on a relatively larger piece than your final desired width and length and then cut down to size, the edge finish will be neater ! Stitching could be useful to ensure longevity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find some scrap pieces of leather to try the different techniques you'll see on YouTube, just remember that very old leather can react a little different than fresh one, but the techniques will be the same.
