How To Add More Holes To A Belt

I'd like to innovate you to 1 of my all time favorite mode tools…the leather hole puncher! This funny looking tool punches perfectly shaped holes into leather, and can exist used to fix a variety of leather related issues. In the past, I've used it to add together holes to belts that were also large or awkward plumbing equipment (one hole is too tight, one is too loose), add a hole to a hip belt that I also wanted to wear on my waist, and add holes to shoe straps that either started out as well large, or stretched out with wearable. Information technology comes in completely handy, and I've even had requests from co-workers to bring it into piece of work and so we tin have a "pigsty punching party" where anybody brings in their belts and shoes in demand of actress holes.

UPDATE: a reader (thanks Linda!) shared another great tool that is better for making those super tiny holes you may need on scout or sandal straps.

I bought mine many moons ago, so I'k non sure of the exact make and model, but this one on Amazon looks almost exactly like it, and this one has pretty good reviews.

I had a belt that came on a dress that needed but i more prepare of holes to fit on my waist where I'd like, so allow me take this opportunity to show y'all how to add together holes to a leather belt.

This belt needs 1 more set of holes to fit my waist.

To make certain the new holes wait uniform, measure out the distance between the existing holes. Mensurate and mark this distance where you want to add the new holes.

If the chugalug is broad or double-holed like this one, too mensurate the distance between the existing holes and the edge so you can make a new pigsty that looks compatible in that manner, also.

Holes marked and ready for punching.

Select the right hole size past rotating the punch head (loosen the spiral on the metallic arm, rotate the caput to the desired pigsty size, and re-tighten the screw and so it won't motility or slip on you while you lot punch), and line it up to the markings y'all made.

Squeeze the handle until you feel the puncher get all the manner through the leather. I usually have to put a good amount of weight into information technology.

Voila! Two new holes!

To ameliorate match the existing holes and fashion of this belt, I needed to add together a small notch to each pigsty. I used an x-acto knife to carefully cut the notches.

All done!

As I mentioned in a higher place, you can apply this tool on shoes, handbag straps…anything leather that needs some more holes for a amend fit. It can too piece of work on fake leather, vinyl and fifty-fifty thick fabrics. Happy punching!
