Best Way To Make Extra Holes In Ankle Strap?

[Bcup]

I just need a small hole so I can make the strap a little shorter with the buckle, what would be the best thing to use? Thanks for any suggestions.

Buy a leather punch. It is a handheld device much like a pair of pliers that has a rotary die cutter for punching different size holes in leather and leather like materials. It punches clean holes that look like they were meant to be there.

I have one of those but the smallest hole it makes is still way too big, I'm thinking like a big needle of some kind or ??

The only thing with that it that is it tends to extrude the hole rather than cut it. You could try heating the needle to red hot in a pair of pliers and pushing it through wile hot.

I've always used a needle pushed through from both directions.

My dad used to use a sharp awl on my mom's and sister's shoes and the results were typically decent.

A Japanese hole punch is really good if you have one. It works like a drill and I use it for modeling all the time. Holes from 1mms to 4 mms in 1/2 increments.

I've use a nail and hammer in the past

Hammer and nail with a block of wood underneath has always worked for me.
