You’re work is not only unique it’s just so beautiful! I want to get into leather work so bad! Would it be possible to make more videos of more various style dog collars/leashes and women’s belts but also a video that details how much certain products cost?
Thank you for another great tutorial. Please, Any suggestions as to the best way to skive under the studs without a machine? What size oblong do you use for the crew hole? Thanks again.
Hey there, the crew hole is dependent on the size of the buckle tongue which varies between buckles and each size of buckle. I think this was a 1 1/4" wide collar so I would have used a 7/8" long crew with the west end buckle.
Hello Teresa, I don't usually do paper patterns for dog collars but use scrap pieces of leather to test if my ideas will work. If you have different sized studs you need to work out the distance you want between each stud (I usually lay them onto the collar I am making so I know how many I can fit on) and then the distance between the fittings of the studs. So for example the studs I have are 1/2" wide and 3/8" wide, so I would (depending on the size of the collar) put these about 1" - 1 1/2" apart. Once you know where each stud will sit you can mark out the legs of the studs (in our case these are 1/2" and 3/8" apart). Hope this explanation makes sense! Thanks Jo
Hello kind lady, do you do custom orders, please? I have a pink PU 2” spiked and studded collar for my whippet, which started peeling as soon as I looked at it 😭 would you be able to recreate it, please? Thank you so much x Adriana
very nice video, so thank you. I have two questions though. Why do you need to use the hot tool, is that instead of burnishing the edges? Also, wouldn't rivets work better for the decorative squares, like, the same shape, but in a rivet instead?
+Magik Dust glad you like the video 😁 the creasing tool just puts a nice line on the leather which just adds to the overall look of the collar and works best hot as if it's done cold it won't last. The riveted squares is a good idea, I haven't seen them before though.... These squares work well there is just a little bit more work with getting them all marked out.
Not too sure which holes you mean. The way I show in the video is how I mark out all my collars for holes in the point and for the crew hole. You can set your dividers to the distance apart you want for your holes e.g 3/4" and walk them up the strap but as its only 5 holes I don't usually do that. Hope that makes sense. Jo
+lucy millie Hi Lucy will have a look to source bells. If you can email me what colour, width, size ect to info@jhleather.co.uk I can get back to you. :-)
That's what I do, the bridle butt is so strong I use it for everything. You could use a thick shoulder if a butt is too expensive/big for the projects you have in mind.
Adorable dog nose cameo at the beginning!
"Is that for me?" **sniff sniff**
"It's for me!!" **tail wags**

Thx I try my dog look so cool in it and I try to make a pike one and my female dog look cute
In it
I'd love to know how you make a studded dog collar pattern and with different size spots. How do you get you design transferred from paper to collar??
Hello Teresa, I don't usually do paper patterns for dog collars but use scrap pieces of leather to test if my ideas will work. If you have different sized studs you need to work out the distance you want between each stud (I usually lay them onto the collar I am making so I know how many I can fit on) and then the distance between the fittings of the studs.

is there any way to measure the holes and oblong hole easier? without measuring each itself
Not too sure which holes you mean. The way I show in the video is how I mark out all my collars for holes in the point and for the crew hole.

+lucy millie Hi Lucy will have a look to source bells. If you can email me what colour, width, size ect to info@jhleather.co.uk I can get back to you. :-)
+J.H.Leather i dont know how to email
the thickness of the skin you use how many millimeters thank you
Hello, I use a 3.5-4mm bridle butt For all my dog collars.
so we use the skins we use for the construction of belts
That's what I do, the bridle butt is so strong I use it for everything. You could use a thick shoulder if a butt is too expensive/big for the projects you have in mind.
Where can I get that hardware from ?
I don't know where you are based but Etsy is a great place to shop for studs thats where I got mine 👍
you forgot the t in studded in the title
🤣 Whoops
Is that veg leather?
Hello, yes this is veg tanned leather specifically a veg tanned bridle butt 3.5-4mm thick
Thx! Haven’t seen veg in such a vibrant colour
I don't even own a dog I'm probably watching this to either a: freak people out or b: watch it and never actually make it
Who sells studs?
I think I got these from studs and punks UK (not totally sure on the name)
I need you to make me one aswell! may i email you?
+Gina91787 hi Gina, if you email me on info@jhleather.co.uk we can go from there :-)
