thksdad is right, glue the strands down to the fuzzy side. Use plenty of glue and it will stiffen as it dries. Also having longer and multiple strands glued down will be a lot more rigid than just a few short test strands. You don't need to use thread if you are using the right glue. I'd recommend using Leather Weld from Tandy Leather. Also, have you seen my girthbelt tutorial?Have been given a suggestion from OrtharRrith on my girth belt. That I could sew some thread over the bolo through the leather. Would thought be best to keep the material, thin and dark so it not seen. Perhaps glue also. Thus keeping it strong and rigid.
