Did you attach the rings right through the leather or did you stitch them on with some thread?

The rings were stitched onto the leather with thread. I never thought of having them go through the leather itself. That probably would have been a lot harder to do though.

yeah, you'd punch the leather at each spot and then slip then open the ring and slip it through... I'd say stitching it on with thread is best because the thread's more likely to tear then the leather or metal. If the leather tares then you're out of luck, you can repair a sewn job

I know. My teacher wanted it to be though. She said that if I was putting in all the work to make it, I might as well make it the best I could. (There was weird things happening with the people who signed up for the class, so extra silver I guess too)
