quick and easy leather handle wrap

(1/11) > >>

bubby:
this is an easy way to get a tight fit handle wrap without measuring anything, take some masking tape sticky side out and wrap it where the leather will go

bubby:
now take a straight edge and cut the tape, be carefull to not get to deep, just cut the tape
now put the sticky side on the side of the leather that isn't going to show
and cut it out
I use a hole punch to make the stitching holes but I've used a hole punch and an ice pick use what you have

bubby:
now you can stitch it up loosely cause you have to slide it over the bow, I like to use two needles and bring both sides down at the same time

now all you have to do is tighten the stitches up and tie it off, hope this helps some of you guys out, Bub

jeffhalfrack:
   Thanks I'll put that in the vault.  Jeffw

Adam:
Thanks! Great idea. Do you ever use any glue or anything under the leather?  All the grips I've done have seemed too loose.
