How to make a beaded inlay belt

When a piece of loom work beading is put into a belt, it is most commonly seen simply framed in rather than inlayed. After examining the pitfalls of beaded belts and seeing where the weak points traditionally showed up, I developed this set up and technique for truly inlaying beadwork into a tooled leather belt. Like any skill in leather crafting there are no shortage of techniques or opinions. My way is not the only way by any means but it’s the most reliable way I’ve found to produce a quality beaded belt that will stand the test of time and wear.
