The DIY Handmade Leather Goods Hardware Complete Set brings together a wide selection of high‑quality bag hardware, shoulder straps, chains, and installation tools for crafters who want to build, repair, or customize their own leather bags.

✍️ How to Use – Installing Bag Hardware in 5 Steps

1. Prepare your leather pieces – Cut and stitch your bag panels according to your pattern. Mark the positions for hardware (e.g., buckle holes, rivet points, clasp attachments).
2. Create holes or slots – Use a hole punch or chisel to create openings for rivets, screws, or strap connectors. For turn locks or clasps, cut precise slits as per the hardware template.
3. Attach fixed hardware – Secure D‑rings, feet, and strap holders using rivets or screws. Place the rivet through the leather, then use the rivet installation tool (included) to set it firmly. Tap with a mallet for a secure hold.
4. Install moving components – Attach clasps, buckles, and turn locks. Ensure smooth movement. For chain straps, open the clasp ring, thread it through the leather loop or D‑ring, then close tightly with pliers.
5. Add shoulder straps – Clip the fabric or chain strap to the bag’s side rings. Adjust length if needed (chain can be shortened by removing links with pliers). Your bag is now ready to use.

💡 Tip: When installing rivets, place a scrap piece of leather under the rivet head to prevent scratching the surface. Practice on waste leather first.
