[DIY] Making a Custom Leather Guitar Strap
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I show you how I am making a custom leather guitar strap step by step. This is entirely handmade with passion and care for details. It features a personalized leather carving layout made especially for this strap, because let's be honest, who doesn't like something unique and made just for us?! On the top of that, to give a comfortable wearing I have chosen to put an inner dense foam padding and I lined the back with a soft sueded leather for extra grip on the shoulder, so no more slippery guitars!
I plan to be a lot more interactive. I hope you guys stick around this channel!
So make sure you like the video and watch till the end or I will steal your guitar ahahaha 😜

Thanks a lot! Sadly I don't manage to post regularly on this channel as before and as I wish. It's the down side of having just two hands 😅 and do everything by myself. Please, visit my instagram account to keep being updated, it is the social media I am using the most and showing more contents on a weekly base. instagram.com/cuoio.sonoro/ All the best, Ilaria
Very well done!
Beautifully crafted...you are a true professional...

Very beautiful and professional strap. I also love the quality of the video. Lots of close ups showing technique, but not showing every minute of the making, just a small piece of all the many steps it takes to make a fine product. I am just getting prepared to make my first.

Hi! Thanks a lot for the interest, here is the link to my website if you want to take a look to some other custom guitat straps I have made and there are also a few ready made basic straps available in the shop! www.cuoiosonoro.it
Beautiful work! Thank you for showing us how you make your straps. Can I ask what you use as the lining on the backside? It appears to be fairly stiff vs something softer like a suede.

Thanks a lot! It's pig skin, it is rough, suede like, and it helps the strap being steady on the shoulder.
Amazing work l. The brushing and finishing techniques you use are a master class on attention to detail. I can tell you’ve been doing this a long time. What foam did you use? I would like to get some and try it but I didn’t notice a product name like some of the other things you used. Thanks for the fantastic video.

Thanks a lot Erik! I love to pay attention to the smallest details. I have started working with leather almost 5 years ago, it's an endless learning and developing process. I used a 5mm foam, doesn't have brand, but you easily find it at leather or upholstery shops! Good luck with your leather crafting. All the best!
Nice work I will be doing some leather work with 3d printing on my channel. Guitar straps are a started work from my past so with new tech I have learned mixed with old world leather...metlman
Gorgeous work, sir! In particular, the carving is by far the most appropriate and beautiful I have seen for a musical instrument strap. Forgive an old man for ignorance, but what is the significance of the hands you carved?

Hi, I use 2mm leather thickness for padded straps and 3/3.5mm for single strip strap. I buy leather directly at tuscan tanneries.
I wish you had listed some of the tools you used.
