If you have been doing leather craft for a little while, you may be at the point where you want to cut your own straps, rather than pay over the odds for the pre-cut option. If this sounds like you, then the strap cutter is a tool you will want to consider for this job. In this video I will go over everything you need to know about the strap cutter, and share my best practices for getting straight straps over and over again.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Ordering a bespoke dog collar or belt? Please read the measuring guide to ensure you order the correct size.
Dog Collars
When measuring for your new dog collar, the best option is to measure the internal length of a current collar adjusted to how you like it fitted. To do this, remove the collar from your dog and do it up at the desired fitting, then with a flexible tape measure measure around the inside of the collar. This length will be where the middle hole will fit on your new collar.
You can also measure around your dogs neck. Place the tape measure around your dogs neck where the collar will sit and to a tightness that you like.We will use the measurements provided as the internal measurement and add 2 larger and 2 smaller holes for adjustment.
Belts
The best way is to measure your current belt from the inside of the buckle to the hole that is used most. You can also use a tape measure and measure around your waist where your belt will sit.
We will add 3 larger and 3 smaller holes for adjustment.
