Cut your own lace, your way

Buying lace by the metre adds up fast, and you don’t always get the colour or width you want. This lace maker lets you cut your own strands from your leather offcuts or hides, so you can match the lace to your project.

Feed a strip of leather through, pull it along, and the blade slices off an even strand at your chosen width. It’s simple, compact and quick to set up, so it’s handy whether you’re lacing a collar, a keyring, a whip or a decorative edge.

Use it to cut lace from kangaroo, cowhide and other leathers, for everything from fine plaiting strands to heavier lacing for collars, edges and bracelets.
