Today I’m going to be talking about molle panels, and how you can make one yourself. For those of you who don’t know what a molle panel is, it’s a military-issued backpack that allows for easy attachment of different pieces of equipment. Well today I’m going to be showing you just how simple it is to make a molle panel from scratch by yourself.
Introduction
Making a molle panel is a great way to customize your gear and make it fit your specific needs. Molle gear is a great option for people who want to be able to carry a lot of gear without having to carry a lot of weight. Molle gear is also a great option for people who want to be able to easily attach additional gear to their backpacks. If you are interested in making your own metal molle panel, this tutorial will help you get started.
What is a Molle Panel?
A molle panel is a type of modular armor used by military personnel. It is composed of panels that can be attached to each other or to a body armor vest to create a customized fit.
What Materials do You Need for a Molle Panel?
To make a molle panel, you will need a piece of fabric that is at least 2 yards long, some Velcro, and a sewing machine. You will also need to buy moleskin or other fabric protector and a hot glue gun. The first thing you need to do is measure the width of the fabric you want to use and cut it to that size. Then, fold the fabric in half so that the raw edge of one side is facing out and sew it together along the folded edge using a seam allowance of 1 inch. Now unfold the fabric and press it open. Next, cut out two identical pieces of fabric from the original piece of fabric. Make sure that each piece of fabric measures 8 inches by 12 inches. Next, hem each of the 8-by-12 inch pieces in the middle so that they are even with each other. Finally, take one of the 8-inch by 12-inch pieces and fold it in half so that the raw edge of one side is facing out. Now sew the folded edge together using a seam allowance of 1 inch. Repeat this process with the other piece of fabric so that you have two molle panels total.
Step One: Cutting Your Fabrics
If you’re like most people, you probably have a closet full of clothes that are just collecting dust because you can’t figure out how to make them work for you. Well, metal molle panel can help solve that problem. Molle panels are a great way to mix and match different pieces of clothing to create an outfit that looks great and fits well. Plus, they’re easy to customize to fit your own style. Here’s how to make a molle panel:
- Start by cutting two pieces of fabric that are the same size and shape. You’ll need one piece for the front and one for the back.
- Next, fold the fabric in half so that the middle is now creased. Make sure that the crease lines up exactly with one of the side seams on your garment. Now press down firmly so that the folds stay in place.
- Now sew the folded edge together using a straight stitch or zigzag stitch. Make sure that you go all the way around so that there aren’t any gaps between the fabric and the seam allowances. Then pull the thread tight so that it’s secure.
Step Two: Sewing Your Fabrics Together
After you have sewn your fabric together, it’s time to add the molle panel. To make a molle panel, start by cutting a piece of fabric that is larger than the opening on your backpack. Next, sew the fabric around the opening on the top and bottom of the piece of fabric. Make sure to leave a 1-inch border all around the edge of the fabric. Finally, cut a hole in the center of the panel and attach it to your backpack with straps or Velcro.
Step Three: Attaching Velcro Straps to the Front of your Padded Waistband
If you have a molle panel that you want to use to attach the armor to your torso, now is the time to attach the velcro straps. Cut two strips of velcro about 18 inches long, and attach one strip to each side of the panel near the top. Then attach the other strip to the front of your waistband.
