Subject: RE: Looking for moris bell pads!
On a slightly more serious note...
If you are driven to DIY, DON'T sew the bells to a rectangular leather patch. I made some like that for a side once, and the next time I saw them, they had carefully cut the leather between the bells away, converting the pads into straps.
Too heavy, and they didn't ring right, was the cry.

It is not rocket science, making morris bells.
