This custom guitar strap belongs to a member of the Tex-Mex band, DMILO.  We started with supple belt leather that we painted white, then we added kidskin overlays of hot peppers and actually wove pieces of kidskin together to create a rope for the peppers.  We added some images that have meaning for the owner, beveled the edges of the strap and dyed them black to "frame" the strap.  The strap is backed with high quality suede.
