Mandala Crafts Genuine 3/4 Inch Wide Brown Leather Strap - Flat Black Leather Strips - 6 Feet Long Cowhide Cord Leather Straps for Crafts Leather Handle Leather Belt Making

This roll of Mandala crafts leather strap is made from sturdy yet slightly flexible genuine top grain buffalo cowhide leather with a smooth top finish and suede bottom. It is not only visually appealing but also has great functionality and durability.

The soft and supple leather strip has versatile applications. When using for wrapping bows, tools, walking stick, or knife handles, this sturdy roll will not only yield a rustic look but also sturdy enough to last for a long time. If more pliable cord is desired, you can soak in water, wind around the item you want to wrap, and let it dry to form a tight fit.

The leather ages well and it gets softer and more supple with age. When using on ranch equipment such as holsters, harnesses, latigo bullwhips, reins, and saddles, or sport gears such as baseball gloves, it not only functions well but also enhances the look.

The leather cord is thick and has reasonable tension. It can be easily painted or stamped and is compatible with hardware such as D rings or buckles. Doubling the strap will make it even more substantial in binding and hanging projects. It can be used for loops for curtains, bag straps, dog leashes, or even hanging small planters. It will instantly accent the final project if used for furniture, trunks, or shelves as embellishment or on cabinet drawer pulls.

For crafters, this cost-effective roll is handy for DIY projects such as lacing or welting shoes and boots, making wallets, backpacks, and purses, keychains, watch bands, knife strops, belts, hats, dreamcatchers, labels, suspenders, or costumes, and replacing camera or binocular straps. The leather strip is easy to cut and punch and does not get scratched easy. It is also great for making jewelry such chokers, necklaces, bracelets, or even cuffs.
