How do you fasten crystals or rhinestones to leather, ie a dog collar? Buffy's collar has pink crystals that are encircled in some type of metal and seem to be riveted. I don't know the proper terminology so can't do a search on what tools or materials I need to do this.

Thanks, thanks, thanks from someone who just learnt to sew on the weekend! ;) :o
Miss M,
Sounds like it is the same sort of tool you use to make leather belts.
That might be a place to start looking. ALSO, people who make leather saddlery would use rivets, etc.
Have fun
:D
Welcome back!
How was your holiday? Excellent and relaxing, I hope :) I thought of you yesterday when we saw two spotty dogs at the foreshore. One was covered in liver(?) spots and was the cutest dog :)
I'm doing a shoemaking course but the shoes we have to make are truly ghastly. So thought I'd put my energy into something more useful :) I've worked out I need flatback rhinestones, a pressy doodah and some rim things to surround them (and some help with the correct terminology!)
How can someone with a PINK kitchen not be totally domesticated??? :D :D
My mother, who made most of my clothes when I was growing up, had a devise for putting the gromets on the belts. Now, that is of absolutely no use to you but what if you looked under "belt making" or "leather tooling?"
There's always epoxy ... but the rhinestone rivet-gun would be more "permanent."
BTW...I'm glad to hear you are still doing the shoe making. I need a new pair of red silk evening mules. Got grease all over mine. WIll you be taking orders?
Sara, we are making flat, flip flop-type leather shoes with hideous clear rubber soles, and leather tops that are gouged with fish-gill patterns on the top. I cannot describe how foul they are.Quote:

We practised the gouging technique on the weekend and made a leather fish :confused:, so I have precisely five days to wriggle my way out of making these shoes. The instructor got all offended when someone else said she hated the pattern! Maybe I can make little flowers and sew them on :eek:
Silk mules one day :D
I think this is what you're looking for... you can buy the little prongy things or the whole machine...
Gosh, I used this thing in highschool. I can't believe its still around!
