Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to develop a plan for finalizing the interior of your own car. The point is that all the parts of the car in the cabin must match well. After that, go to the choice of material with which you will be wrapping the steering wheel. It is recommended to use natural leather, a substitute or automobile leather for this purpose. Automotive leather is very popular with car owners. This material is specially adapted for use in cars. Please note that the surface of the handlebars is constantly under the influence of your hands, so the material can quickly wear out. Pay special attention to the choice of color. It should be in good harmony with the interior color scheme and not be very easily soiled.
Step 2
Next, take measurements and make a pattern. It is best to make paper templates. You can avoid spoiling the material. Usually the pattern consists of two main parts - the steering wheel braid and the middle part. After you have made a similar pattern, you can proceed directly to making the blank. Try to use material sparingly. Try on the finished parts and fix them with small needles. They must match exactly.
Step 3
If the fitting was successful, then you can proceed directly to tightening the steering wheel. For this purpose, you need to prepare a needle, thread and glue in advance. Pay special attention to the color of the threads. First, baste with regular thread. Make sure the material sits clearly on the handlebars. Then you can start the final sewing. Secure the steering wheel braid and the leather in the middle with glue. Otherwise, it will slide on the steering wheel. It is worth noting that some cars have a steering wheel in which an airbag is located. This tight fit can make it difficult to deploy in the event of an accident. Weigh the pros and cons of this wrap.
