Guitar Strap Art

Ok so i finally got around to buying a new guitar strap because my other one kept ripping apart. I got myself a nice thick leather strap.

I have a bunch of images on my cpmputer with logo's i want on my strap, and i was just trying to think of the best way to get them on, would sticky paper just fall off :S. Its a very smooth leather.

Oh and btw, im sorry if this doesnt really fit in here, didnt know where else to put it

Sticker paper would probably hold for awhile, but eventually crinkle and peel away. Maybe get an iron on transfer kit, put your design onto material, then stitch it onto the leather?

Or you could leave the strap alone. :P I prefer a nice plain leather strap.

You could get things laser ingraved, it won't be colour, just burnt into the leather. A friend of mine used to work in a trophy store and used the laser to engrave his name on his wallet, it looked rad.

I also have no idea how much this sort of thing costs.

Get a signwriter to make up some vinyl stickers. Those things stick to anything.
