When you need to make some extra holes to belts, shoe straps, backpacks, and purses, using a leather hole punch is the easiest way. But if you do not have leather hole pliers with the right size of punches, you can use a drill.
I needed an extra hole to a shoe strap, but my punch pliers did not have a punch which was small enough. I used a 2 mm drill bit to make a new hole, the same size as the original holes.
