Default Leather covered oh $hit handles

I told you guys I was gonna find something else to cover in leather and my next victim was the the grab handles for all 4 seating positions. I found leather that closely matches the grey inserts on my seats at Hobby Lobby for about 10.00 bucks. I made a template outta paper and then used it to trace the outlines on the leather. Then I cut the 4 pieces and doubled over the edges and then punched holes. I used 1.5mm round black leather for stitching. I removed the handles from the car and covered the handles. I toyed around with different stitching techniques but ended up deciding that none of them really mattered because you don't see any of it. Anyway, easy and fun upgrade.
