Instruction
Step1: Select your Leather
If you are using a machine which isn't a P2 you will need some 2.5mm thick (4-5oz) Veg-tan Leather, which you will have to dye black. Whether you dye it before or after cutting is up to you.
If you are using a P2 you can use Veg-Tan or Chrome Tan which is already colored.
Step2: Cut and Assembly
After you have all your pieces cut out its time to assemble.
First lets put the snap on the center hole of the longest strap. If you plan on just making one for yourself and don't have a snap setter tool, all you really need to do it take the back male part of the snap and super glue it over the center of the hole. If you plan on making them and selling them I recommend using a setter to set them with the back piece of he snap.
You won't be needing the other portion of the snap.
Step3: Rivets
Now you will take the longest strap with the snap part attached and line the the holes on each end with the top holes on the edge of the back holster. Place a rivet post from the back side, through each hole and place the rivet cap on the front.
Take a pair of needle nose pliers and use the to squeeze the rivets together till they are nice and flat.
Then do the same for the short bottom strap, line up the holes to the edge and set your rivets.
You are done! Now just slide your Ghostbuster belt through the long belt slots and you are ready!
