Leather Belt Strap Replacement
ID: 171994
Description: In this project proposal, I aim to guide...
Steps:
- Begin by turning the belt buckle around to reveal the screws at the back of the belt.
- Take a small screwdriver and begin unscrewing the two screws on both sides of the belt buckle.
- The screws are M2.5x5 Cross Slot Tip Screws for leather accessories.
- Remove the unscrewed belt buckle away from the old leather strap.
- Take new leather belt strap and align it with the old leather strap.
- Take a pen and approximately mark the areas where the cuts will be made.
- Take the pen.
- Draw two circles where the screws will be screwed in.
- Take the new leather belt strap with markings made.
- Use a scissor to cut out the square mark on the new leather belt strap.
- Take a small screwdriver and puncture the two small circles on the new leather belt strap.
- Make sure that the holes are punctured through.
- If the screwdriver is not sharp enough to puncture the hole, you may use a small sharp object such as a hand held needle.
- Now, take the front side of the belt buckle and insert it into the front side of the new leather belt strap.
- If the belt buckle does not fit in, make the markings bigger by cutting away excess leather.
- Turn the belt buckle to the back.
- Take the small screwdriver and the screws.
- Begin screwing back the screws onto the belt buckle.
- Make sure the screws are tightly screwed in.
- The screws are M2.5x5 Cross Slot Tip Screws for leather accessories.
- Now take the old and new leather belt strap
- Align both leather belt straps side by side. (The old leather belt strap will be used as a reference)
- Use a pen to draw circles that are an equal distance apart.
- Start by drawing the same number of circles that are on the old belt strap.
- Take the revolving leather puncher.
- Rotate the setting clockwise to the third or fourth-largest setting. (This will ensure that the buckle's prong will fit through the holes)
- Now insert the leather puncher and align it with the circle.
- To punch a hole through the leather, squeeze the handle thoroughly until the leather punch clicks.
- THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL
- Use the pen to draw detail marking to the end of the new leather belt strap.
- Take the kitchen scissors and cut the leather belt according to the detail.
- FINISH PRODUCT
- If the new belt is too loose, consider adding additional holes to the belt.
