If you go to Google . . . type in 

spur strap acrylic templates

Hit your enter button  . . .  you'll probably find more than you bargained for there.

I personally created my own with a couple of pairs of spurs . . . took one afternoon of messing around . . . and maybe 4 sq ft of junk leather.

I don't have a market for them here . . . but I have a few samples in case someone comes by.

May God bless,

Dwight

I’ve used the pattern from tacktemplates.com they have the pattern in acrylic templates also. They have an inlay window in them if you want to that. Here is a picture of a pair I made with their pattern.

Thank you.  I know you said you wanted acrylic templates; but Springfield Leather has a pretty cool pattern pack.  I have it as well but they are paper patterns.  Tandy also has some paper patterns that I also use.

If you have a paper pattern you like, there are several place online to upload drawings to and get acrylic templates made.  I am in the process of doing it for a couple of sling patterns I have developed.

I seen a post somewhere that said that those Tandy patterns don't print actual size ? Said it prints out smaller ??  Are they wrong?

I have not had that problem.  I recommend trying it and checking to make sure it printed correctly.

I’ve not tried to print anything from Tandy,  but reading their instructions for printing it seems there are many print options for sizing.  So you may just have to experiment with it to get the right size.  Some of their patterns are larger than 8 1/2 x 11 and need to be printed at a print shop. Not sure if this is one of them or not.
