Step 7Trim the strap to size
Here's where you heat the razor blade with a lighter and cut / cauterize the cuts you make on the straps.
Notice there is a leather connection sewn between the skinny trap and the fat strap. You will cut the fat strap part approximately 1 1/4 inch away from the leather connector. They you'll cut the skinny strap approximately 5 3/4 inches away from the leather connector.
You will need to "cauterize" the cut so the nylon does not fray. One way to do this is the cut with scissors and then melt with a lighter. Another way is to heat a knife (or razor blade) with a lighter, and cut with the hot blade. This cauterizes the cut as you go and looks very clean.
