WHAT I NEED TO HAVE MADE
SANTA BELT BUCKLES
First of all, I do not have a
"sample" to send to you. All I have is the rough drawing below and the
details of the design I want. I am hoping with the info below your Art
Dept. can come up with a drawing for my review and approval.
| I need two SANTA
CLAUS Christmas buckles made, one like a "theme" buckle like the one
on the left and a "center bar" buckle like the one on the right.
The overall size of the two buckles will be 8" wide x 5"
high (203mm x 127mm).
|

The design will have the "manger" scene with the reindeer in the corners and
holly. These images will be a shiny solid brass. I would like the background to have "scrolling"
or some kind of "texture" to it, in a shiny silver plating.
|

The same "theme" will be on the right buckle but
where the "manger" scene was will be the cutout for the bar.
The cutout will be 4 1/8" high x 3" wide. |
|
My drawing above has a
rectangular shape which I do not want....I want the overall 3D appearance and
shape to look like the
like the Kentucky Derby buckle below. I also want the same color
tone as below, brass/silver with more brass edging/border and with a silver
background.
The larger border scrolling/reindeer/holly/manger scene would be in brass and a
finer scrolled texture would be a silver background.
The overall
size of the two buckles will be 8" wide x 5" high (203mm x 127mm).
The below buckle looks to
be about 6"x5", so it would have to be about 2" wider to work with the design I
have.
|

You can see a sharper larger picture of the buckle above at:

This type of scrolled border looks great. So both of my buckles would
have this type of scrolling with reindeer/holly....and the
theme buckle would also have the manger scene. One other idea would have
like a Christmas bow/ribbon on the corners and
have the ribbon scroll down the sides and across the top forming the border.
I hope your Art Dept. can come up
with a sample drawing with these ideas. |
| DESIGN NOTES |
Material: Solid Brass
preferred with textured silver plated background....or
Pewter with
gold plating would be nice also. This has to be a QUALITY buckle that will last for
years and
not tarnish. Side view would have a slight contour/curve.
Size: 8" wide x 5" high
(203mm x 127mm).
I
also would like the bar to be hidden from the front view with an extra long
angled hook. My belts are a 1/4" thick.
My belts are
4" wide so the slot and bar has to be a bit larger,
4 1/8" clearance.
The
bar should be hidden from sight like the buckle on
the right.

I do like the flowers/scrolling and the pitted background of the
silver buckle above and also the shiny color tone gold/silver of the other buckle.
I like this look also but would prefer the Kentucky Derby look over this.

THE TIM ALLEN BUCKLE FROM THE MOVIE SANTA
CLAUS |
Below is the replica of the Tim Allen
Buckle in the movie Santa Claus on one of my belts.
I want something as nice or better than this. I want to
surpass this in design and quality. I like the
"free form" edges and the intricate scroll work.
This has more of a flower theme, I need mine to have
more of a Christmas theme. Holly/berries could be used
instead of the flowers would look nice.

This buckle is crafted out of
nickel, gold plated, and polished to a
brilliant shiny luster, and then lacquered
to preserve the look. After gold plating, an
antique stain is also available to further
accent all the tiny details.


You can see here, it
is a pretty large buckle.
If you have this
buckle or know where to find one, I would like to order these also.
