String of Bells Projects
BEFORE: String of old bells that hung on a barn wall for decades.
Bells were removed from the old strap, cleaned(old patina was kept ), straps and keepers cut and prepped, buckle polished.
This strap required 24 handstitched keepers
The keepers were then put in an antique loop press- one at a time . The press embosses the loops with a design and also presses them from the sides. This helps "box" them up. This ensures strap can easily pass through
Buckle end and loops in the process of being handstitched. Stitching was done at 9 stitches per inch on this project.
AFTER: Completed bells on a double strap.
