Creative Belt Stamping 2007 by Paul Burnett
Creative Belt Stamping 2007 is a pattern and instruction collection featuring ten original belt designs by the late Paul Burnett. This updated series builds on his earlier work, offering more advanced layouts and expanded guidance on tooling, spacing, and decorative flow for 1-1/2 inch belts.
Each design is presented with detailed layout steps and tooling sequences, emphasizing precision and repeatability across the length of a belt. The collection includes extensive notes on alignment, spacing, and tool control, along with expanded coloring and finishing techniques that walk through multiple approaches to achieving depth and contrast. Several designs increase in complexity, including a dedicated “challenge” pattern that encourages leatherworkers to refine both their tooling and finishing skills.
