Bag Hardware Series: Rivets and Straps



Transform your bags into eye-catching accessories with professional looking straps and hardware. Learn to use premium materials like leather, cork, faux leather, webbing, and even chain, along with D-rings, slider buckles, swivel hooks, strap connectors and more.

Rivets are an essential part of your strap repertoire. Not only do they add a bit of bling, they provide stability and allow you to use materials a domestic sewing machine can’t handle. You’ll have a chance to try the full gamut of rivet tools from hand setting dies to rotary punch and table press.

You’ll put your new skills into practice, making an adjustable strap from fashionable webbing and rivets–

No sewing machine required!

Materials needed for the class total around $20.They will be available at The Sewing Machine Exchange the day of class. See list below.

Please arrive early to set up your work station so class can begin promptly at scheduled start time.

Please no perfume as some people have allergies and reactions to certain smells.
