Post sack straps?

Recommended Posts

Dusk

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...

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

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.

How big a watch do you have to get that stencilled writing onto a strap?

So far north it's classed as southern England.  Hope you get a 'jolly' out of the company for a survey, it's a long way from Cheshire for a booze cruise on your own money!

This is true. Ahhh good old days before the bloody Euro came in  when it was worth holidaying in France and Spain for the 60 crates of stubbies and 18,000 Benson and hedges you could bring back with you :D

And £1 car journeys on the ferry if you collected enough tokens from The Sun!
