How to make a beaded inlay belt

When a piece of loom work beading is put into a belt, it is most commonly seen simply framed in rather than inlayed. After examining the pitfalls of beaded belts and seeing where the weak points traditionally showed up, I developed this set up and technique for truly inlaying beadwork into a tooled leather belt. Like any skill in leather crafting there are no shortage of techniques or opinions. My way is not the only way by any means but it’s the most reliable way I’ve found to produce a quality beaded belt that will stand the test of time and wear.

I really appreciate this video! I have a Beadwork channel, but send my beadstrips off to my leather partner to finish. Subscribers often ask for a start to finish video, including leather. Now I know what channel to send them to! Nice work!

OMG< what an attention to detail!!!! I have a beat work from my Great Grandmother, that she made herself and she wore it when communists came to kill her and her husband, but she tricked them by pretending they have typhus. I want to make that beadwork into a belt or a strap for a handbag. Could you do that? Thank you so much!

So I have a question. I love making the bead part. How does a person either sell just the beaded inlay or find a leather person that makes belts like this

@c7customleather 3 года назад

Belt looks amazing! It’s awesome how you made the shelf off set for the height of the beads. Also how do you fill that glue can without making a mess? Also side note I learned to damp the leather where I skive it seems to cut it smoother.

@joemeling3216 3 года назад

Thank you. The glue can actually fills pretty easy as long as you’re a bit careful and don’t get in a hurry. Yes, wetting the leather does make it Skive easier. My only caution is not to get it too wet to where it allows the leather to stretch as you’re pulling your skife. Keeping a sharp blade is really important too. I really should have changed blades but didn’t want to stop in the middle of filming for this.

Would you be able to use a thinner needle when stitching the beadwork down? I both sew and bead and held my breath the entire time for you, lol! Gorgeous belt too!!

@joemeling3216 3 года назад

Haha thank you! Yes the thinner the needle the better really this is just the smallest needle/thread combo that I have set up right now on a machine.

@lonnierichards2860 Год назад

I know this video is 2 years old but I just seen it sorry... what would happen if you took the router and adjusted your guide and just went a head and cut the piece out with it instead of going back with you knife? Will it just make a mess of you leather?

@joemeling3216 Год назад

I haven’t tried it but I’m afraid it would chew up the clean shelf you’re trying to leave.

Awesome work Joe! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Would you do a snake skin inlay in the same manner except without the trough? I’m fixing to make my first rattle snake skin inlay and curious how you would go about that. Thanks for any advice you can give! Keep up the great work and videos.

@joemeling3216 3 года назад

Thank you. I would probably do a plugged inlay with the snake skin where you would edge the piece that is cut out then put the skin on that and put it back in the belt.

@TheWallaby77 3 года назад

Awesome!!! What kind of beads do you use? Toho-Beads? Czech glass beads???

@hndygrl 3 года назад

Hi TheWallaby77. The beads used in this particular belt look to be Miyuki Delica size 11 or so. Delicas are rectangular tubes. The type of bead Mr. Joe prefers are called seed beads or Rondelles. The customer probably used the Delica beads because of their uniformity and consistency in size and shape. Seed beads/Rondelles tend to be less uniform. Delicas are much more expensive than rondelles. Rondelle just means generally round. The beads classified as rondelle could be flat disc shaped, spherical like seeds, or even faceted. A good brand of regular round seed beads is Preciosa, a Czech glass bead. TOHO beads are Japanese and are in between Delica and Seed/Rondelle. They are less round than seed beads and less squared off rectangular than Delicas. Fire Mountain Gems and Beads is a good source for all three, but there are many others. I hope this helps.

Hello Joe, What kind of glue did you use and where did you buy your glue gun? I like the no mess Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us

@joemeling3216 3 года назад

Hello Franklin, I use Barge contact cement. (Definitely not the only option, it’s just my preference) The glue can is from Weaver Leather Supply. I believe they just call it glue can with brush. You can also use promo code JOE10 with them to save 10% on your entire order.

@ellaborlase-evans9497 2 года назад

Would the stitching be doing to do by hand or do you recommend using a machine

@joemeling3216 2 года назад

You could definitely hand stitch if you prefer

@Aaron-fq5kp 3 года назад

Would this process be the same with hair on cowhide ?

@joemeling3216 3 года назад

You probably could but I would maybe plug an extra piece of filler leather in behind the hair on piece to make it just a bit thicker and stand up a little more.
